@Adam DrummondAdam, your profile tells me you've been in the business for a bit, but still, word to the wise -- respirator with organic vapor cartridges is a must when working with oil-based poly.

If you're spending $5,000 a month in marketing, you are primarily wholesaling, or closing and reselling as-is rather quickly. 

Do you like reselling stuff on ebay?

The Book on Estimating Rehab Costs and The Book on Flipping Houses: How to Buy, Rehab, and Resell Residential Properties  by J Scott.J spoke at the MidAtlantic conference back in April and is a very experienced and motivating!

All of this is still within the free interface of podio, i have been using it for nearly 2 years now with being a realtor and have added over 10,000 contacts to my CRM workspace i created in podio...One of the main reasons i played with podio lastnight in regards to tracking my rentals over excel, was i dont know how you can add receipts and documents to excel so you can track papers per property....This is a feature i have been using heavily with the podio app on my phone lately, i have been uploading the documents when a client makes an offer to the CRM, which stores them to an organized google drive, as well on my realtor expenses side i have been using it to store all my receipts and random pictures i need to store in regards to my realtor business.. these get tagged with a date and time and i dont have to go searching for them on my google drive. 

Will this home resell?

You mentioned volunteering and giving back I’d like to hear more about what charity or organization you are involved with through this giving you are doing

Connecting with a BP member who have taken on renovations in the markets we are targeting could lead to contractor referrals, sharing stories of successes or heartaches, etc.It is my personal opinion that if you reach out to someone with common interest, the conversations will be more organic and you'll build a mutually beneficial connection!

We have found that bandit signs and direct mail is almost useless down here- therefore we committed to social media at a very high level and have generated a lot of business that is untapped by using Instagram and Facebook ORGANICALLY...That's a great tip about using social media down here.

If it's a larger organization, feel free to inquire about their different staff qualifications.2.
