I'd suggest you participate in the forums on a consistent basis, and see how much value that has.Also, when posting, be specific in what it is you are asking for in order for someone to give you answers you're looking for, whether it's a niche you're interested in, a specific deal you need advice on, etc. 

Ask them for recommendations for their top 3-5 lenders that consistently close those types of deals.

Stocks are great and can run up 20% on a good year but it's not consistent and I can't write anything off.I'm over in Oregon.

I use 10% as you have mentioned multiple times that you can invest your money somewhere else and get consistent returns. 

My real estate career consists of many years in custom home building, mostly on the design and management side. 

Consistency is the key.Happy InvestingDerek Dombeck

Whatever marketing platform you choose, it has to be consistent.

Long term, consistent work is key.And finally, as a CPA myself- I have to plug taxes!
