What concerns me most is that statement: "I have yet to have a conversation with a seller"Here's the truth: It'll probably take talking to 50-100 prospective sellers before you even have a shot at getting a deal.You don't get to change that.You do get to decide how long you'll take to get those conversations completed.Reach just 1-2 sellers per week and it'll take you a year or two before you get a deal.Reach 10 sellers per weekday, and you'll likely get a deal within a month!

Will take a wild shot.  

If you told him you have been playing pickup games for the past year and need help improving your jump shot, now he has evidence you're motivated and a specific goal he can quickly help you work towards.

I totally agree on pro photos and some drone shots - video is not really necessary. 

I’d say give both a shot and see which platform fits your style better.Hope that helps!

@Scott Trench or whomever it is calling the shots on the forum laws are just chasing their tails with a moving goalpost of arbitrary rules that will always motivate people to try to skirt them.Why?

And then hold.To me, I'd suggest you look at smaller towns that have good schools and are close to cities so that you can get houses closer to that 200k or less mark yet still have a shot at decent appreciation and decent rental increases over time.

Gross yields of 5.5% above are now difficult to achieve as the base prices have shot up significantly for overal market (median).

We bought 117 lots in one development, where the developer was shot and killed while in bed with the foreman's wife. 

If you stop chasing leads and start earning business by showing your value versus the rest of the scabs in our industry, you will be able to call your shot on your commission.I sign all of my buyer agency agreements now at 3%, but with the proviso that if the seller is offering 2% or more, I will go down to that amount.
