Investor Watch is a weekly feature designed to help you quickly identify lead generation opportunities on investor forums and to keep you up-to-date with the issues your potential buyers are discussing.

As overseas buyers are unfamiliar with the areas where they are purchasing, forums offer an opportunity for them to ask questions and learn from the experiences of others who have been through the process.  They do not want to be sold to but this does not mean you can’t make sales.  If you can genuinely help people and answer their questions you can begin to build relationships that can lead to new business and positive word of mouth recommendation.  

Here’s a list of the most interesting posts over the last 7 days. Please note, that sometimes you need to scroll to the bottom of the page to view the most recent postings.
