It always makes me cringe when I have a brand new (zero properties) "real estate investor" on the phone explaining to me how they "underwrite deals"..Be authentic people, everyone can see through it. 

It was a mobile home park.

I suppose, though, that most people search on phones and the search results are more important on those devices.

I've learned very valuable information from the experienced investors on BP - some of whom I've talked to by phone or gotten on Zoom calls and they have saved me from making offers on anymore bad deals. 

Even partnerships of the closest friends can fall apart, but putting that much trust in a stranger you've only met over the phone or maybe in person a couple times would not be a route I'd go.

It sounds like also I should subscribe to dealmachine and start driving for dollars, start a marketing list for direct mail, phone numbers, etc. of about 500 properties to market to at least 6 times.

A net worth tracker is a web-based or mobile application that tracks your assets and liabilities.

Do they answer their phone when I give them scenarios?

In my opinion, this is much more effective than texting, which often feels like a constant game of cat and mouse with phone carriers.

Would love to get you on the phone and talk about your situation and possible options.
