When it comes to W2 employees, it involves HR, expectations, paying them whether they have enough leads or projects to fill their day or not, managing higher expectations (W2 employees seem to be much more "picky"), and overall they are just more expensive.

You can learn to do this independently or get a rockstar REALTOR to lead the way.

I was able to talk to several great leads, but when it came down to locking up a deal, they don't even provide you with a Purchase and Sale agreement.  

@John CarrA specialized tax professional can assist with tax deductions across multiple properties, including jointly owned houses in Illinois and Florida.

I'm hoping this leads to me avoiding a lot of those early mistakes, but we'll see how well that actually holds up.The main thing I am excited about with Bigger Pockets is hearing opinions and thoughts from a wide array of people.

I have over 50,000 leads I need record append (phone number and email), or skip traced (all the info).

@Robert Morris it can work - until it doesn't via a lawsuit.Challenges:1) They are NOT professionals2) They are not licensed, so may cause you legal headaches3) They won't have insurance, so what happens when their actions lead to a lawsuit?

I know the basics of wholesaling but I value the companies lead system more then anything.

The most basic step is to ensure that our form is in a highly visible, easy-to-access location where visitors can simply fill in their name, email, phone number, and property address.It’s honestly ridiculous that the BBB accreditation is ABOVE the form where the lead should input their details for your acquisition agent to contact them!

Unfortunately, on BiggerPockets, you sometimes have to be cautious, as some professionals listed there aren’t always reliable since realtors, lenders, and contractors pay for leads through BP with little background.
