We have been educating ourselves by reading/listening to literature on this topic.

I just wish I listened to an old friend who used it on the silkroad.

If you listen to David Greene, he also recommends staying away from them. 

There have been complaints filed by multiple parties. having been a broker for many decades and owning 3 brokerages over the years.. at least out this way when complaints come into the DRE and they are numerous they will most certainly send an investigator to this companies office and request the books.

In a dream world - the comprehensive solution does all this: *task management and sequencing where you can drop a property into a sequence ie day 1 call, day 2 mailer (have it automatically mail out something like a postcard) day 3 etc etc etc*project management outside of the outreach sequences for what's next in the process ie schedule inspection, send the contract, etc etc*ability to have multiple users drive around and if you see a property you can tag an address and add it into a marketing sequence, and also track the streets you've hit so you're not wasting time driving by the same houses more than once *dialer (ability to parallel dial numerous numbers simultaneously to make cold calling more efficient - Ive used tools like orum and kixie in other industries, and when you receive a pickup, the other calls are dropped) *skip tracing/data provider *website landing page for converting online visitors to leads*electronic signature/docusign*secondary branded landing site on different URL for blasts for deal disposition to your buyer listWhat am I missing? 

If you are looking to get it to avoid fees, listen to Nathan.

I should have left at that - I listened to too many people to acquire more doors and it will "cash flow".  

And only listen to multi millionaires IN THE GAME.

I came across Bigger Pockets a few months ago and have been learning on my own by listening to podcasts (RE Rookie, On the Market, BP RE Podcast) and reading the various recommended books every chance I get.

You’ll pick up so much just by listening to people who’ve been through the highs and lows of the market.
