The critters eat fat and protein (food and pee).  

@Darius Ogloza I fat fingered that $50K.

It seems like the best way to generate inbound is with a solid web presence but it looks like it'll take thousands to get a website up and running that will actually rank well enough to generate incoming leads so I have to keep that on the back burner for now.Thanks for the intel.

If he forwards his mail, Mail a burner phone to the old address and track where it forwards to.

They do it because they make a royalty off of GROSS SALES.So they could give a rat's aS# if the business owner makes money as long as corporate gets a fat check based on volume of sales and maintains market share.It's all about the NET after expenses.You will see franchise models all the time tout gross sales or someone selling a business.Gross sales doesn't mean jack.If someone could do home vestors for 10,000 that's not nearly as bad as 80,000.If you spent 5,000 on marketing yourself you would get just as good or much better results than dropping 10,000.If you want it in a nice little box you will pay for it.

Your real ROI won't be known til the fat lady sings.

Keep it real and keep it honest… Understand that if the Seller/Borrower is fat with assets and cash the lender is not going to approve their short sale.Proof of Income and Assets: It is best to be truthful and honest about your financial situation and disclose assets.

I spent a couple years with not much to do and a fat bank account.

They have system in place where they feed off the new agents through profit shares.So when a brokerage charges fees for fat splits to new agents retirement funds are being fattened onthe upline.Many agents that gravitate toward lower fees are struggling agents or are investors.Investors can get you in hot water sometimes trying hair brained schemes to make money.Struggling agents either are part time working a JOB or work full time but don't have many deals close each year.Both make the agents require alot of training and time because they are inexperienced or they get rusty doing a deal.

That seems more of an "Appreciation of BP" I am thinking show the guy, who must stress and stay up all night at times, a big fat thank you...
