Why This Works

Inviting members to recommend resources taps into the collective experience of your community. People love to share what works for them, and seeing others benefit from a suggestion creates a positive feedback loop. This approach builds trust as members see their peers' real-life wins and lessons.

Resource sharing also lowers the barrier for participation. Even members who are shy about sharing personal stories can easily contribute a helpful article or tool. Over time, this practice turns your community into a living library of up-to-date, field-tested information, helping both newcomers and seasoned flippers stay ahead.

How to Use These Templates

To use these templates, simply copy and post them as discussion starters or prompts in your community. Encourage members to reply with their own recommendations, experiences, and links.

Remind members to explain why they found the resource helpful and, if possible, how they used it in their flipping journey.

Best Practices

  • Ask members to explain how the resource helped them in their own words.
  • Encourage sharing of both free and paid resources, but require transparency.
  • Tag or organize posts for easy future reference.
  • Highlight or pin the best recommendations to set quality benchmarks.
  • Always remind members to check the credibility of external links and tools.

All Platforms Tips

Since these templates work on all platforms, tailor the format to fit your group. Use threads or pinned posts on forums, create weekly prompts on Facebook or LinkedIn, or leverage hashtags for easy tracking on Twitter. Encourage replies and tagging to maximize reach.

Frequently Asked Questions

How can I use these Recommend a Resource templates to help members find reliable hard money lenders for their flips?

You can customize the templates to prompt members to share their preferred hard money lenders, including details like rates, typical approval times, and any lender-specific requirements. This helps others in the group avoid unreliable lenders and streamlines financing for newcomers.

What’s the best way to encourage members to recommend local contractors or subcontractors they've used on recent renovation projects?

Edit the templates to ask for the scope of work (e.g., roofing, plumbing), location, budget range, and outcomes of using the contractor. This specificity makes recommendations actionable for members seeking trusted tradespeople during their own flips.

Should I create separate Recommend a Resource threads for wholesalers, real estate agents, and title companies, or keep all service providers in one post?

For maximum clarity and organization, it's best to create separate threads or posts for each service provider type. This lets members quickly find recommendations for the exact resource they need during different stages of the flipping process.

How do I address potential conflicts of interest when group members recommend resources like inspectors they have personal business relationships with?

Use the template to include a disclosure prompt, asking members to state if they have any financial or business interest in the resource they're recommending. This transparency builds trust and reduces bias in suggestions.

Can these templates help with sourcing off-market property leads, and if so, how should I structure the post?

Yes, adapt the templates to encourage sharing of lead sources such as local wholesalers, direct mail partners, or bird-dogging services. Ask members to specify the type of properties, deal volume, and success rate they've experienced with these lead sources.

How do I use these templates to prevent spam or self-promotion in resource recommendations, especially for materials suppliers or staging services?

Add clear guidelines to your template instructing members to only recommend resources they've personally used for a flip, and to provide details about the project results. You can also require moderator approval before posts go live to ensure compliance.
