I am just starting out on Bigger Pockets and am excited to review all of the resources available.

Quote from @Brandon Weis: In your opinion, as you are starting out at 0 reviews, do you think it is a must to beat the competition on price to overcome customer's hesitancy or lack of trust with no reviews?

You can spend as little as $100 to form an LLC, or you could use an attorney and spend $1,000 or more.

Quote from @Chris Seveney: @Charlene Kingsnorth have you had an sec attorney also review what you are doing as if you're are having multiple people as part of a loan participating in it depending on the state this could get you in hot water - so be careful  good point Chris some state allow fractionalized deed of Trust mortgages other do not or require PPM like documents prior to offering them..

I also looked up the google reviews and people seem to be very satisfied with their service!

We have been around the bigger pockets community for over a decade now and have more 5 star reviews on bigger pockets than any company on this website in any industry (>270  5 Star reviews).

I would look for reviews on Zillow, Google Maps, Yelp, Experiance.com.To look up their license history you can use nmlsconsumeraccess.com, licensed and registered Loan Officers have to report a 10 year employment history.

I did not see marketing costs, nights that you need to spend at networking meetings paying for dinners or memberships.

You spend a lot of time and money having people do this work, and at the end of the day you don't net any more income compared to a long term rental.

They yield results, but I understand a lot of other people have jobs where they cannot spend so much time on their listings.
