Brokers may be unnecessary to some sellers in the current market; next year in a totally different market environment sellers may be begging brokers to list their properties.  

The consensus and concern from so many is that you are taking on significant unnecessary risk by not having the experience, or the team, to accomplish what you are working to achieve.

With funnels, always start with the end goal and reverse engineer it - if you do it the other way around you'll most likely build a lot of fancy, unnecessary clutter, which we don't want.What kind of leads are you going after and what's your main objective?

A reserve is unnecessary, but I still keep around $15,000 - $20,000 in my account.The point is, that you should sit down and assess your finances to determine what the worst-case scenario may look like, how much you would need to cover it without impacting your life, and whether you will need to build a reserve.

Use people specialized in this field so that you are not caught up in any unnecessary details but can always make simple transactions without any difficulty.

If a seller tries to convince me that an appraisal is unnecessary, that is a big red flag.The post indicating ROI with a profit of $15K for a 17.9% ROI is silly with pending $26K expense.

What you described is unnecessary.

I don't know Ryan Kuhlman and haven't reviewed his work, but generally I think just about any of these gurus are going to be unnecessary and overly expensive.
