prop Trend software.... computer recommendations...

[Natalie Kolodij]

hello all,

I recently received a copy of prop trend from a real estate workshop and wanted to find out if people who used this software had any suggestions more pertaining to the computer. Is it easy to utilize on a smaller screen? Do you wish you'd installed it on a computer with more memory etc.....

Any advice or things you've noticed would be great as I'm laptop shopping and want to be able to best utilize the software.

Thanks!

Natalie

i life in Tacoma now too.

I think I know the seminar you're talking about and I'll be honest, I've never tried the software but from my experience this types of programs are outdated, inaccurate or just unhelpful.

Not saying the one you purchased is not good, it might be the best thing ever!

But having said that, I still think going to the property records office and looking it up for yourself and networking with other investors, contractors and bird dogs is the best and most proven way to be successful in real estate and its FREE.

I've seen a lot of seminars come and go all saying they have a magic bullet or secret formula that will automatically throw money at you, all you have to do is click a button on your computer.

I haven't found that magic bullet yet.

What I have found is 90 percent of the people who buy these courses and programs never do anything with it and another 5% folds at the first or second "no" from a seller.

I believe being successful in real estate takes two things persistence and patience.

Persistence to keep picking up the phone and patience to know you may talk to 50 people before you get a yes but it'll come. Someone is going to say yes if not to you then to someone who kept calling until they found that person.

Just my opinion.
