And instead of dividers with alphabetical (A – Z) tabs, you will use dividers with numeric (1-9) tabs in all of the binders except for the “Hot Leads,†“NOD†and “Expired†binders.

@Eric Pinter , you have a ton of experience and lots of alphabet designations behind your name, which means you have worked very hard.  

Saves me from having to deal with a broker, the NRA (or whatever the alphabet regs are called), listings that I get 3% on (even though I did 90-100% of the work to get it sold), dealing with sellers who think their house is worth more than it is and blaming you because there house isn't sold because they were stubborn on their asking price, dealing with buyers because you can't find that "perfect" house at their unreasonable price, investors who call you for comps without intending or means to buy the target house let alone a pack of gum, or want deals to assign and walk away because they can't close (happens to other wholesalers, too), or a number of headaches that I would have to take on being a licensed RE agent as well as an investor.Not sure if this helped anyone out, but I was chiming in with my opinion and observance of this long thread (I think this one should get an award).For grins and giggles, I'll be researching more about licensing and brokers in my area and State laws in Florida regarding RE investing.

<<No 'bitterness' or 'disillusionment' there -- just a valid OFFER of OPPORTUNITY.But I'll tell you what raises my hackles -- the 'fantasy' (first started by gurus, then enhanced by reality TV shows, and unfortunately still propagated by some posters here) that any form of real estate investing can be SIMPLE or EASY.That's like telling some schmo with a typewriter and a mastery of the alphabet that he can create a bestselling novel!

I'd like to see the Marketplace revamped, with specific tabs for posting deals for those seeking financing or partners (it would work for both the person looking for the funding, and lenders wanting to pick up business), real estate for sale (maybe by region or alphabetical by state).

There are a handful of alphabetical letters strung together which make a name who I will always honor for their contributions; those most constantly that I learn and grow from...

(In alphabetical order, so as not to give ammunition to Brandon & Ben!

They will call off everybody's top five first, and then the rest are by alphabetical order, for taxpayer's last name.  

I'd say there are only two of us on BP that are most aware of the influences of the alphabet soup of agencies that can touch mortgage lending, the other would be Ken Rieshel (hope I got his last name spelled correctly).
