It all comes down to people not getting traction.

It takes so long to get traction that it’s hard stop. ( At least for me.)

@Roger VerasteguiEnvironmentally friendly and affordable usually dont go hand in hand, as the more sustainable products are typically more expensive.One product that is starting to gain more traction in the US (like many of these products, it has been used in Europe for the last 30+ years with great success) is CLT, or cross-laminated timber construction.

The good news is that once you gain traction you can hire a VA to cold call for you and then just talk to the most motivated sellers.

It takes a while to gain traction, then it starts to grow exponentially.

I can't believe it's 3 years later and this thread still has traction. 

This business will certainly have both acceleration and traction from day 1! 

At times I've even had to bring in a genealogist, BUT it was absolutely worth it because these were home deals.If you're a new investor struggling to get that first deal or to get any traction, don't get overwhelmed, get TARGETED.  

BNBCal is becoming quite popular as well but is just now gaining traction and it's not clear how they're pulling data.

If you're dialing 100+ people a day and not coming out with 2-3 solid conversations per day after a week, then change the tools, but in my experience its usually the skill of the caller, so get dialing because the only way to get better is through practice.The good news: once you get some traction and close deals, you can hire a VA cold caller to do most of the grunt work and focus on the handraisers and nurturing them.
