These programs aren't a cheap buy-in, we hate to make the wrong decision but we're also tired of watching YouTube videos that make it all look so easy.

Video tours and photos look very different from seeing the properties and areas in person. 

I think a step-by-step video for beginners would be useful so that they know how to interpret all the data they put out and why each piece of information is important and useful.

Daniel,You are asking a couple of good questions on here, but I think you need to add a couple of more and take two additional steps before purchasing.First, the more data you start trying to look at, especially data that is not necessarily relevant, rather than finding clarity, you find confusion. 

Watching BP videos, reading, studying, we need a better plan.

Your Network = Your Net-worth"Been watching Evernest's video's and they share a ton on "everything and anything" property management related so that's been a blessing.Biggest take away when it comes to scaling a PM is to spread the word about what you're looking at doing and to build relationships.Local real estate events, NARPM, IMN, etc...You want everyone to think of you if they are looking at selling or if they know of anyone looking at selling.I use to be "loud and proud" and a huge extrovert but I guess "old age" has got me hahaI prefer drinking coffee and smoking a cigar behind closed doors.But, I guess I'll have to start "shaking hands" and "kissing babies" like a president when it comes to networking again lolMaybe even do a few video's while not wearing any pants heheBig hat's down to Matthew Whitaker for scaling the business so much.I remember spending some time together in Birmingham when he had a decent sized operation of around 1,200 units or so.Now they are 16,000+ 👏HUGE...We initially met as I was interested in selling our property management company in Toledo and now we are looking at acquiring others heheTime flies, things change and life is funny.Thanks everyone for your contribution and wishing you much success

I am hoping that the community can point me in the direction of articles, books, videos, etc. to look into.
