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.  

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

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

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

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?

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.

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.

The PMC I left to start my own PMC had at least 2 "preferred contractors" related to key players in the office so high rates and poor service fell on deaf ears. 

@Cole DobbsIn addition, I may be able to help you and connect you with some key real estate investor players in the Houston, Texas market since I am an Investor myself that have done most of these real estate investing strategies and also an investor-broker who has helped over 400 investors like you. 

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.
