It provides a way for me to get into the industry, and potentially lead to other types of REI (my long term goal).After scouring BP to get all the information I can, I know that it is not as easy as the gurus make it sound.

Perfect timing too, my partner just mentioned that he was starting to scour the Milwaukee area forum.

I scour this site regularly to find the secret to how I'm going to get this done, and it continues to fall back on planning, research, an understanding from designers and contractors, and what they'll allow in the area.  

Whether that's direct mail, driving for dollars, scouring the MLS, cold calling, or whatever else- you must be extremely active and continually hunting!

As I started scouring the internet for information, I naturally came across the BiggerPockets tutorials and then their podcasts and then their community.

Yeah, I have been scouring LoopNet and MLS for awhile, it's brutal out there.

I still look at the properties, but only the ones where I know the numbers work.My VA not only analyzes deals from the MLS, but she works on my direct mail campaigns and scours Craigslist.  

I was simply scouring realtor.com and wanted to know if my numbers made sense and if my idea of B/C/D neighborhoods were correct.

In other words the idea was that if you didn't have time to scour the net for agents and deals, that you could pay 5-10 grand and they would find houses that you could purchase with 80% capital gains for only 0-$4,000 out of pocket.

I know a lot about SEO and social marketing and have used those to help me scour the web to learn all I have about RE.
