I've been strategizing with the thought "how fast can I quit my day job" buuut because of the BP podcasts I listened to today I'm beginning to think of my full-time job as a vehicle to ramp up to my goal and beyond so that my growth rate can continue well beyond my corporate retirement wig an added layer of security.

Getting started is the hardest thing to do, and if you spend all the time STRATEGIZING and not DOING then you'll never start.

From buying perspective (as a wholseller) : Just simple add a line in provision 11 stating something like 'this contract may /may not be assigned to a 3rd party by buyer listed on this contract for a fee'To make it dummy proof... seller should ask Title Company to draft a disclaimer for buyer to sign ...Now stepping back out of this new....National Association of Realtor has over 1.5 million members where everyone makes money out of transaction ... they also lobby strategically (hint there is a reason why Zillow etc still cant kick HAR/MLS out of business)   which is why startups are failing to disrupt the process (at least for now) and this is merely another try to regain market share which i doubt will hold true .....On that note, it could also reduce competition for existing wholesellers   ..... and i completely fail to understand why not everyone be a Realtor first and then wholesale with disclaimers.
