I bought my first property at 21. It was a duplex and I was able to pay about 500$ per month to cover my monthly expenses. Now I am 41 asking myself why I did not commit and keep building my portfolio. I did end up with about 3 properties I currently own but am about to put some fire behind my investing before its too late. Time to execute! 

@aliosha Gonzalez at the time of the post no but I am definatley going to learn more about that strategy to add to my toolbox. 

I am seeing the same increases on my properties in Broward county. One of my duplexes is over 4K because the only insurance provider that will write a policy is Citizens. This is killing my cash flow and ability to pick up more units east of I95 in South Florida if you are familiar with the area. If anyone has suggestions on how to reduce this and move to an alternate provider, please chime in.

@Jerryll Noorden i have a buy and hold investor that I am assigning to. I need the cash to reinvest in more marketing. Plus not enough spread to take on the risk Vs the amount of assignment fee I am collecting

@Jerryll Noorden great post and I agree totally with your assessment of lists. I am no guru in the wholesale world but what I have experienced so far is what you have written above. All my lists that I have filtered out so perfectly have gotten little to no interest. Yes, I have a property under contract right now that I got off one of those lists but I am chalking that up as "luck". It time to start thinking creatively and stop taking the easy way out. Thanks for motivation! 

Hi @Duane Kidman I was wondering if you ever started using the journal daily. If so what was your experience with it. Basically, the question you asked above. Any feedback is appreciated.

@Mohammad A. Batch does have an upgrade you can pay for 59$ per month to pull list data. I personally have not used that data yet, but it is integrated with batch so you dont have to use 2 different systems. 

@Account Closed knows how to determine those metrics I would be interested also. 

When you import to batch most of the times the fields are mapped properly already. You will get drop down menus to align the columns if needed.

If you want to keep your exports clean without all the extra information not needed to skip you can update the settings in propstream to only export the columns you want. When you are in My properties look in the upper right-hand corner and use the settings cog to choose columns.

@Austin Wood I do exactly that. Export your list from propstream then import into Batch Skip. Once you import it just make sure your fields are mapped properly. Takes less than 5 minutes.
