You could have made 10X more deals at far less cost if you did it the right way.Here is what I do.I do not lift a finger nor do I pay a damn cent UNTIL I know they are motivated.Till then  I do NOTHING, and let them do all the work.By the time they call me they already convinced themselves I am legit, the man, the one to pick, and while they were convincing themselves I am the best choice I didn't even KNOW they EXISTED.You can either follow the masses, be a sheep following other sheep  or get out of that mold and seriously be smart, think, be intelligent and creative and do some serious dominating... like we do honestly.If you or anyone can see the logic in my post this is what you do.Get a website,  make it credible,  work on SEO, then ... if you want to make money right now, and don't want to wait till you rank, do PPC or facebook ads.

Or I could develop a web app to more intelligently tackle this task?

Josh, Brandon, David, and everybody running BP are intelligent people and I don’t doubt them.

Interesting how all of the people that make bold claims about the future that turn out to be wrong disappear and the very few that are correct will be shouting how they were right from a megaphone, whether it was from actual intelligence or they got lucky.In regards to your question "is now a good time to be starting in RE or should people be waiting for this big crash that is being predicted?"

and they say wholesalers are scummy predators operating for personal nefarious reasons but have no problem artificially inflating the price behind the curtain .

Seriously.. you really need to use intelligence and analysis to make your decisions.

This past 12+ months has been the greatest clarity of just how incompetent our governance system is of being run by a bunch of unqualified morons playing for votes vs intelligent action.

Hi BP,I figured I would appeal to the collective intelligence of my fellow investors.  

Can't wait to read it.Two questions:for the book you mentioned, is this it: The Book on Rental Property Investing: How to Create Wealth with Intelligent Buy and Hold Real Estate Investing by Brandon Turner?

Economists on both sides of the coin agree that rent control is not the way to go....Since I can't draw a supply/demand sketch on bigger pockets, I might be able to attempt to explain the general principle behind it.Rent control is an artificial price ceiling set by regulatory bodies (government).
