Thank you all for the insight. It's awesome. I like the objective look at things. @Dustin Smith great point about the calculators. I think I will be getting myself a bit more comfortable with my property valuation skills before I join and get unlimited use of the calculators. I definitely should have the ability to know it's a good deal before I enter it into them. And also, I have attended a few webinars with Brandon and he's offered a discount code for the pro membership. He did say, however, that he occasionally will give one away. That's certainly even more incentive to attend them--not to mention that boatloads of free information you get (if you're reading this and haven't signed up for a webinar, it's totally worth it--regardless of the topic).
I guess my follow-up question is about the market place. I'm in a hyper competitive area (or at least it seems as such--DFW). So when I'm a pro member and I go to offer a property on there, will my property get lost in the shuffle? Even with a relatively small audience like the one on BP, would I need to take steps to ensure that the property gets a proper amount of hits? Are there guidelines? Can you track analytics?
Also, if I get a property under contract in the near future, would you recommend getting the pro membership at that point? It seems to me like that would be good timing. Until then, I may keep my money.
Thanks again everyone! You're all too good.
