Hello to All,I would REALLLY appreciate any and all Help, Suggestions, Comments, Experience, & Recommendations for me to FINALLY nail down, and pick out a Website Company, a CRM, a Dialer, and a Source for getting Expired, Cancelled, and FSBO phone #'s.So far I have heard that MOJO is a pretty good dialer.

I am an active buy and hold investor in Geogia    I have 8 SFH long term rentals in the north east suburbs of Atlanta   I am currently looking to diversify into either another area of the country (probably Tampa, Fl) or perhaps to pick up a few beach (PCB) and lake (Chattuge, Hartwell) short term rentals to attach to a different market   I would like to connect with others in any of those areas to build a better network    I look forward to the discussions.
