Some posts really gain traction, and before you know it hundreds of people are connected and sharing their knowledge.

Hi Linda, I did get some traction with Wells Fargo...Looks like folks are having luck with Union Bank as well but I haven't contacted them yet...

@Jason Ridout or @John Humphries are you worried at all about PA being just too far off the beaten path (highway19) and therefore never gaining traction?

I am having a hard time getting traction with Spartan, so I will contact Decas Group.

These companies of course do not want to shine a spotlight on how they are under performing as they have enough to deal with for shareholders.Sears for instance actually started to have some traction with sales increases in some store segments but the problem is companies will not extend them credit on terms for inventory because they are afraid the company will go out  of business.

I've been following STR's for some time as well as keeping an eye on laws/bills being passed and every time STR's get some traction, it's shut down last minute.

You may want to take on your first couple of units/clients at 20% (a special introductory deal) and once you have some traction bump it to 25%.  

Unless you have an extremely high paying "W2" job coming out of school, it is going to take you a very, very long time to get any traction.

If you want a cheaper alternative i would recommend upwork, it's a little more expensive but you can tailor exactly what you want done and actually hire someone as a VA to do your SEO work, usually not the best and wont really get you much traction in competitive markets, but it's better than nothing and you won't have somebody who is just spamming backlinks to your site trying to get $5 and a 5* rating like you would on fiverr.

Rehab will take 3-4 months (contractor says 2).After that I want to refi out and repeat, but I just cant get any traction on this short term loan.
