Billionaire Howard Marks says there are bold investors and there are old investors, but there are no old-bold investors.Not being overly levered, having proper reserves and stress testing are critical.I like Ramsey as a person, but his main audience is people who shouldn’t ever have a credit card because they aren’t responsible enough to manage it and not get buried in debt they can’t ever repay. 

I wrote it in the feedback section of the webinar but when they read audience questions they put a very nice sugar coat on it and said they communicate the risk on potentially lower returns in bad times to their investors and have skin in the game themselves.

Audience quality is better than CL.

The audience included experienced and successful business owners, a few senior executives, and several professors from the university.

Now I'd like to start reaching a wider audience through other methods of online advertising. 

@Brian CardwellSo we can agree it works,It works in certain specific circumstances.there are no tricks to it, There are LOTS of people using tricks to promote/sell it to far too broad of an audience (check out Youtube, for example).and the comparison was with doing velocity or not doing it?

@Christine Travis   my normal approach prior to learning about BP and all the neat people here would have been to donate this to Habitat to Humans... and I was contemplating that around Christmas break.. when the thought occurred to me we can make this a nice learning experience for the audience..

Once you have your list, get ready to ramp up your direct mail marketing campaign efforts.Direct mail marketing works so well for finding motivated sellers because investors have the ability to target a particular audience.

I have been researching the topic of short term rentals in downtown Chicago and would like to find out if anyone has any hands on experience with this and can provide some additional insight.Target audience would be vacation and corporate rentals.Marketing is pretty well covered by sites like AirBnB, VRBO, etc and currently posted properties have their calendars filled at approximately 50-80% rate. 

One thing that was left out of the initial free seminar portion was the part that the "guru" gets the audience to say yes at least 50-75 times.
