Bigger Pockets PRO account is a 100% MUST DO or you SUCK (Like I did for almost a year)
So for almost a year I was a big tight A$$ and didn't want to upgrade to the PRO account
So this guy @Joshua Dorkinis like "Mate, you're missing out. Stop being a W@^KER and upgrade to PRO, make sure you only market good properties and you'll see what happens. Just pay monthly and see how you go."
He sold me on the "Just pay monthly" haha :)
So I upgraded a while back...

My reason for upgrading to pro was that I reached out to someone and actually made a deal from someone I met on BP. If I used there product for making money it is only fair I pay them. I don't expect to use a tool for free. I have only tried advertising once, and didn't really get any bites but I am a long ways off the beaten path. The education from this site is amazing, it really helped me move my knowledge to a new level in some areas, so I try to share back to others to repay. To me its a little like Public Radio, if you want it you have to help support it, it doesn't run for free. If no one paid Brandon wouldn't get paid! (Then who would @Ben Leybovitch have to argue with?)
