If you're going to fully benefit from membership recognize that most people will communicate with you online as if you've been a member for some time and just put their opinions out there, in the raw. 

I got my BP membership almost 2 months ago while searching about screening tenants for rental properties. 

Property Radar Buyer Beware.Do not pay for a discounted annual membership with Property Radar because they will put you on annual auto-renewal indefinitely until you call and cancel.

A license to sell other's real estate is not the same as NAR membership.

I've been a BP member since February but recently upgraded to a Pro membership (complete with a profile picture @Karen Margrave ). 

If you don't want to pay for the $25 annual membership, then it costs $5 at the door and includes food and drinks.

It costs ton of money to get a membership with CoStar and so most "part-timers" don't buy membership to CoStar. 

I've heard people say that they didn't take profits or draw a salary for a very long time.Also with a partner, one of us thought it best to equally put money into an account to pay for start up costs: company filing, marketing, memberships etc. but the other thinks it's best to each pay for different items until we make that first deal, then open an account.

You know... for a realtor, 1 rental contract pays your gas for the year, another pays for your phone bill, another pays for your BP pro membership, etc.

I used the Groupon and saved $420.00 which I will use to invest in a Pro PB membership and also get Brandon's book.
