Was a little more complicated because it was the old school drum trap.

@William GonzalezWelcome to the site.This is a great site for meeting other Realtors & clients.If you stay active on the forums you will be surprised at how much business you drum up.

I'm not in that business but have family in the funeral home, insurance-cemetery business, very successful, but drum doesn't play in that parade.Lukas, you got it.

I've been out to weather ford a few times, I used to have a drum set student out there.

Not trying to drum up pity by any means, I chose this life my wife is ok with it and I make a pretty good living by doing it.

You can also network with other REALTORS to drum up deals.

I'd look for cities with the following:1) High Wages2) Growing Population3) High Tech Employers 4) AND... drum roll.... moderatly affordable homes.  

It's just a different business model.I'm here to drum up business, which is no secret, but my model and that of a few other realtors/lenders/CPAs/lawyers/etc on BP is to give value and add information without asking anything in return, regardless of if folks are in our market or in need of our services, or not.

I still have not found one in the Flint area, but I am still relatively new myself and if I can locate one eventually, I may try to start one if I can drum up any interest. 

Buy the pump, get a 55 gallon plastic drum, cut it in half, drill a bunch of holes in it (big holes), dig a big hole in the ground in the crawl space about 6 inches deeper than the half barrel, pour 6 inches of gravel in the bottom, put the barrel in, pour gravel around the sides, set a solid concrete block in the bottom, set the pump on top of it, run your hose downhill of the house, plug in the pump and test it out (use a hose to fill the barrel).
