I love how both Linkedin and Active Rain works! Especially if you have good contacts over the years and are attached to good groups to net work in.  I have been able to use both to assist property owners stay in their homes or at least save their how to resell it.  My latest case I had a person contact me 1 week before the foreclosure sale after have bad luck with a credit counselor, a attorney, and dealing with hope.  I was able to identify the right person, send a email identifying the situation and what I was looking for.  The results is that the case was placed on hold with a good indication of being able to work out the situation and most likely the sale of the property.   This is a positive for everyone. 02/03/2009
