@Allen Fogderude  I'm using kvCore, which eXp Realty provides to agents for free.  It has auto-triggered drips, emailed market reports, landing page and squeeze page support for lead generation, agent websites (mine is in my signature) - pretty much everything you could want.

I was using Realty Juggler.  It's not pretty - it looks like a Windows 98 vintage interface, but it was inexpensive and got the job done. 

I also used and strongly disliked Top Producer.  It had a truly awful interface.

In a previous JV with another company I used BoomTown. Very nice but as I recall, it was $1,500 per month with minimal leadgen.

Thanks Charlie- I’ll check those out.

Looking for a single agent/ small team CRM software. Are you currently using something you love? 

    Bells and whistles are great, but a lot of times it feels like overkill.

    Hey Damian- I've Probably checked with about 5 lenders, one of which was a small credit union for a HELOC, who also couldn't approve. I'll keep trying the smaller banks and credit unions.

    I purchased a duplex in Los Angeles and did a major renovation about 5 years ago. I'm thrilled the property has now almost doubled in price with great rental income coming in. Even though I have tons of equity in the property and perfect credit, my high debt to income ratio (because of my mortgage) has lenders deniying me for any kind of refi or cash-out options. It doesn't help that I left my corporate job to start my own business, so I'm also being dinged for self-employed AND a lower annual income. Besides selling the property (which I REALLY don't want to do) is there any other way to access some of that equity? I'm ready for another investment property, but it seems my hands are tied.

    I'm a new real estate agent researching paid leads (ie BoldLeads).

    Does anyone have any experience, and success, working with a paid leads real estate company? Thanks!
