You should only consider switching when your current software has a significant flaw or lacks features that force you to spend excessive time on workarounds.

But I generally don't find that clients need to spend that much money on the process when some simple coaching can make them comfortable in their search.

Stop hanging out with your deadbeat buddies who spend all day drinking, talking sports, and otherwise wasting away.

I am wanting to be able to stop working full time sooner than later as I would like to be able to spend more time with my family and enjoy life. 

I have the same dilemma and can't find a rock solid tool without spending 100's of hours building mine...much appreciated.

If you have at least $2,000 to spend or once you scale to that point you could run ads to get your seller leads to come to you and usually these people are just scrolling and your ad pops up that you're looking to "pay cash for homes." 

@Chris Lin,Thank you very much for spending time with me on the phone last night. 

I agree that some groups take the money making aspect to far and are simply taking advantage of enthusiastic newbies.The two groups I spend most of my time at now are not REIAs, The BWI Meetup and a group of landlords that get together for a casual lunch once a week.

You are like many others who are getting started and unfortunately your generation is screwed because of the amount of spending is older generations have done and put the debt on you which also has led to record inflation.All you can do now is plan for the future and don’t force things but invest wisely when the time is right.

You can attend all the REIAs and read all the books and sign up for all the conferences, and spend all the money, and you are will never really know you can do it until you do.Over 20 years in real estate in various forms and roles, action will beat out intelligence or education or even network 100% of the time.
