Welcome to the real estate investment game!

I'm new to bigger pockets and more importantly I am new to the real estate game.

Yup, every other entity I've seen doing flat fee is just playing a pricing game, it's not based on systems and operations being set for such, there just doing marketing or riding our tailcoat.     

So I require skin in the game (average is 5% to 15%) to offset this.

I've tried a couple - truepeoplesearch, white-ages, property radar, leadsherpa, batch leads...Some services are better than others, but it is a numbers game and you also can cross check between different platforms.

Depending on the market, A game room can give you a similar ROI with much less liability. 

Baselane has been a game-changer for me, saving a significant amount of time compared to manually tracking everything in Google Sheets.

Here's why:The Multi-State Chess Game:• Client had properties in 3 states• Each state has different deadlines to assess taxes• Federal changes trigger automatic state assessments• Timing the response saved $45K in state taxes🏠 Real Estate Investor Pro Tip:States can't assess back taxes if their statute of limitations expires before federal changes finalize.

We cannot breach our guests' trust by playing games with them.
