An update one year later after this post, I now have:- Got my property and casualty license and wrote 370+ policies in a year- Saved up a few more thousand dollars in investable cash, paid off $20K in debt and raised my credit score by 100 points- Launched a direct to seller cold email marketing campaign and generated leads for cheap- Got connected with a few real estate investing communities like Subtle Asian Real Estate and Pace Morby's SubTo- Aggressively read and studied as much as I can get my hands onThat being said, I decided to run a marketing campaign to generate distressed seller leads in Phoenix, Arizona, mostly because:1.

Any advice or assistance with Subto would be greatly appreciated.If you're willing to share your knowledge or connect with my son to offer some mentorship, please reply to this.

As I mentioned before, one of my main reasons for switching was to get connected with Marriott Homes and Villas, so that really narrowed my options down to PMSs that support that integration.
