I have only 3 doors that I manage so not a big time player so wanted to start with some cheaper software and I heard on the podcasts that RentRedi was included in my pro membership so I signed up.  

Wholesaling is risky, because there are a ton of bad players out there, and so most brokerages don't even allow it because there is so much risk, and the principle broker is risking their livelyhood. 

It’s better to get to know a market really well—understanding the neighborhoods, trends, and key players—than to spread yourself too thin.

Build your team of players who are already performing the way you want to.

That's fewer individuals than active players on NFL rosters.

I will admit they are better than some other big players, but can certainly find better rates out there. 

There are exceptions for very large projects where national players like MasTec (who bought IEA, one of the largest solar and wind installers in the US), exist.

They already lost some major players due to the state capping rates https://www.foxbusiness.com/lifestyle/california-insurance-c... will all insurance companies stop coverage, raise rates or reduce what they cover?

Lenders desperately need/want business especially in this interest rate environment (right now, the main source of mortgage loan business in Florida is rehab financing as a result of the hurricane damages) and one way the big players differentiate themselves is by streamlining the process.

No offense, but telling people "that's not a good way to do it" and nothing more seems like a little league coach who tells his players "you're doing it wrong" but then doesn't give instruction of how to do it better.
