I find the pros far outweigh the cons, it will put more money in my pocket, bottom line.

No matter what you do you will not make all members of BP happy.So the goal is to make most of the members happy with strategies that will fit the direction of your company and your growth plans.I belong to other forums as well real estate related and they all operate with different variations.As my friend that owns a technology company says "No matter who you choose for website,seo,etc,etc. they will all have positives and negatives"You have to decide if they positives outweigh the negatives of who you are doing business with.Using his company the positive is we are usually on the cutting edge way ahead of everyone else.The downside is the developers are constantly blazing the trail with new code and running into issues.So when you set trends you can reap huge rewards because you are doing what many are not but there is a lot of trial and error and time in that as well.You will hit a breaking point no matter if you added 20 more features to BP PRO.That is why a poll in my opinion is key to determining a successful price point.To give you an idea the system I use costs 650 a year.I have been using it for almost 4 years.New subscribers pay about 2,000 a year.I am grandfathered in but they have added so many new features that rates have gone up for people coming in.For me I don't care that BP has 100,000 members.What I care about is direct decision makers who can do a deal.If there are 1,000 direct decision makers that is who I want to connect with.People who are trying to make a deal happen to make 5k to now have 10k total assets should have their own forum.Time is valuable and there is only so much in a day.A system that would filter the pretenders from the real deals would be priceless.

Its taking quite a bit longer than if we were to sub it out, but the money & experience we have gained outweighs the time savings IMO!

So far, tenant paid utilities outweighs the owner paid hands down.I also fully agree that sub metered utility buildings rank a higher value on exit.

Even studies claiming some modest overall gain for the economy from immigration ($1 to $10 billion a year) have found that it is outweighed by the fiscal cost ($15 to $20 billion a year) to native taxpayers." $60 billion dollars are earned by illegal aliens in the U.S. each year.

Frank,I was a wholesaler for a bit and I also had/have my real estate license.I, honestly, thought that the pros outweighed the cons.I found that people liked the fact that I had my license, it's like they trusted me more.Also, you can't beat the MLS access.Disclosure has never been an issue for me.

I suppose I was concerned that the closing fees would outweigh the drop, but now it's under 5 percent. sheesh.)

In fact, if you want to meet some really bright people, go work for a company that actually builds things -- you'll find the intellectual talent far outweighs that of the typical "exec" at a financial services company.

In addition, check out the book 'Rich Dad/Poor Dad' for a beginner's introduction of the power of positive cashflow (simply your Asset's outweighing your Liabilities or Credit's vs.

A lot of the cons include: - Having a buyer's agent, the listing agent may submit your offers to the seller last - The Listing Agent may not submit your offers to the seller (bank) at all - Perhaps it makes your offers less attractive to the Listing Agent - The Listing Agent may give preferential treatment to potential buyers without buyers agents For REO, do the pros really outweigh the cons in having a buyer agent?
