@Robert Blocker Basic plan le's you add a "DealFinder" for free, which is a limited access team member that can add properties for you but cannot spend any of your money. Please reach out to our support team if you have more questions!

@Bobby Valcin you can spend your time, or you can spend your money.

Large investors spend $30,000 per month on bulk mail. It's easy do to when you have the money.

Beginner investors often drive for dollars and door knock. It's easier to do when you don't have the money but you do have time.

Time is a huge advantage because large investors are operating at such a high volume, they do not follow up on time-consuming activities like skip tracing a piece of returned mail. If you go the extra mile, you will find gems that nobody else will.

@Derrick Redd 

1. It's not a waste to market to LLCs, but absentee owned and owner occupied have yielded me much better results overall.

2. Go look for properties where your buyers want to buy. If you don't have any buyers, go to a REIA or an auction (even better) and meet some! Also, google this video by max maxwell "buyers list hack max maxwell"

3. Start with a location where your buyers want to buy. Then look for properties that are the bottom 20% of shape in those areas. You want the "Rough" in the "diamond neighborhoods" so to speak.

Hope this helps!

@John Mucilli great to see you getting started. Aim for adding at least 200+ properties as soon as you can. It might take more, but this is a helpful bench mark for those just starting out. Make sure to follow up with each of them once a month for at least 3 months. Let's get you some deals!

@Albert Mainja what's up man! I'm the creator of DealMachine. You have to add more properties than you have! Aim for 200+ distressed properties, and follow up with them all once a month for 3 months. It is a numbers game, so far it looks like you are 1/4 of the way there to adding "at least" 200 minimum.

Hey! That's awesome. I'm the CEO of DealMachine and off the top of my head, I would suggest looking up Scott Oots. I am not sure if he's active on BP but his IG is thescottoots.
