I use Podio also and for me the best part of it all is that it's absolutely free of charge to use, there's no free trials or upselling or anything.

Additionally, LLCs require ongoing attention, they have to be set up properly and you HAVE to follow the Operating Agreement in detail and consistently or the LLC does you no good at trial.

Or the number of people in prison who never had a jury trial.

SketchUp Pro is also available with 30-day trial, then $299/YR or $695 one-time fee.

Hey, I can only take you at your word in regards to unbiased and arms length choosing of Title companies, attorney's, etc.But Adam Smith, an absolute genius IMO, kind of nailed it on the head with these words:"Men of the same profession gather only to conspire against the general public"Getting involved in the RE business has taught me to think in a much more elastic way than before.No one can deny, it's a high stakes game.And because this is a BP thread, sorry I will say it:  I learned the hardest meanest lessons via trial by fire. 

Trial and error?

I used to trial and I liked it.

@Justin Scott when driving for dollars and cold calling I use the Deal Machine app.It tracks properties, gives you owner & mortgage data, and has the capability to send direct mail post cards and/or get owners phone numbers right inside the app.It's got a 14 day free trial then it's like $40 per month with promo code TTP.
