You'll learn a lot from the ones that they, not you, made work.Alas, many new people, opportunity detectives who pre-maturely refer to themselves as investors, find a single property, try everything in the world to squeeze something out of it themselves, but fail to monetize it and eventually loose interest.It's still about attitude AND action.

I do think it should be about solving the problem of the customer which allows the investor to monetize, often times, the lead.  

I am also investigating methods of monetizing the tax benefits which could provide a vehicle to introduce equity capital to cover all or a significant portion of the equity required to fund a project.I would be happy to share my research and analysis to date with anyone interested in learning more about how cost segregation might benefit a project they are working on or just want to learn more about this important set of tools that appear to be widely ignored by the real estate development and investment sectors.I believe real property held for investment ( rental purposes) you don't have a choice you have to take the depreciation.. 

LOLI need to monetize my participation somehow, LOL, I'm behind you.....now that's not right :)Bill - How do we know he wouldn't be doing better if it weren't for your contributions?  

By the end of month 5, I would expect to see a minimum of one deal done and 3 other leads monetized in some sort of way. 

BP could line up a speaker or have a main topic where Pro members could flesh out ideas and bounce ideas off of each other.As a group we could probably come up with some powerful ideas that BP could then leverage or monetize (ebook, podcast, white papers, how to books...)I would be more then willing to share online marketing ideas with the Pro members and I'm with Michael on the increase in cost for Pros.

Would you rule out listings entirely from your tool belt if you were able to monetize more leads that way? 

(Sorry Michael, I wasn't able to wholetail this, but was able to monetize the lead in the form of wholesaling it).Long story short, I put the house under contract for $20k.  

It might make sense for you or me to pay for a $25 program because we would monetize it.

In almost every case, the campaign starts out with a pretty high response rate (I know there are a lot of you out there that despise the "extraneous" calls, but I've learned to monetize them, so I actually welcome the high call volume).
