Is BP Pro an effective and/or appropriate way to find Buyers and Sellers? 

Any tips or tricks for staying organized and tracking leads effectively?

What’s been most effective for you, and are there any unique or creative approaches you’ve tried that have worked?

In a dream world - the comprehensive solution does all this: *task management and sequencing where you can drop a property into a sequence ie day 1 call, day 2 mailer (have it automatically mail out something like a postcard) day 3 etc etc etc*project management outside of the outreach sequences for what's next in the process ie schedule inspection, send the contract, etc etc*ability to have multiple users drive around and if you see a property you can tag an address and add it into a marketing sequence, and also track the streets you've hit so you're not wasting time driving by the same houses more than once *dialer (ability to parallel dial numerous numbers simultaneously to make cold calling more efficient - Ive used tools like orum and kixie in other industries, and when you receive a pickup, the other calls are dropped) *skip tracing/data provider *website landing page for converting online visitors to leads*electronic signature/docusign*secondary branded landing site on different URL for blasts for deal disposition to your buyer listWhat am I missing? 

Being able to enter a property with only 5% down means you can leverage your money way more effectively as well.

Quote from @Reid Chauvin: @Manuel Reza - if the rooms are furnished, furnished finder is a great option for both short and mid-term stays thanks Reid, is $99 per year, I guess is well worth it, meaning is effective, do you think so?

An interesting fact about flipping in CA -- effective July of this year, investors are required to disclose their contractor name and contact information.

Thanks guys - my partner does the Brokerage and we were discussing how to address the commission - we are fine paying just debating how to handle the upfront question when the Buyers agent calls about the listing ...My thoughts were to simply state that Seller is fine paying a commission and put it in the offer - and he wants to offer the % upfront ... 

I will need to remove the carpet and replace it with something durable and cost effective. 

if your doing a senior project I would suspect your best and most cost effective landing solution is going to be a local community bank that loves real estate.. in my experience most will want 50% down on the dirt and a ton of experience and a really strong balance sheet.Myself I always pay cash for the dirt this makes finding a lending partner much easier.
