I also just subscribed to your newsletter to see what I can learn from there. 

The key is to share everything for free and even if you double the price of the program you will get more subscribers.

I subscribe to two different list services that provide owner names based upon my criteria.

Account Closed  I don't subscribe to the license hurts you camp.. .I have been for 42 years now and have bought literally thousands of distressed assets.. not a nary of a worry.what the liscense allows for those starting out. is to have two ways to help.. if the person does not want to take a quick discounted cash sale.. instead of blowing all your dough to get no where you stand a good chance of listing it and at least making a listing commission.and if they are hoody type properties or low value assets you simply charge a higher fee to list..

Here we go again.We need to stop classifying broker/agents as REALTORS.Not every broker/agent is a REALTOR.That doesn't mean they are less competent just that they got tired of paying bloated fees to the old NAR.The real estate commissions for each state give a rat's #ss about the NAR.All they care about is license laws and protecting the interests of the public.REALTOR designation is subscribing to their CODE OF ETHICS.Doesn't mean you have no ethics if you are a broker or agent an not a REALTOR.Theoretically you could also argue banks could lose their shirts not having qualified brokers on the ground level handling their assets.What banks pay is cheap in commissions compared to the infrastructure that would be needed to do everything in house.Whether that buyer buys direct with the listing broker or uses a buyers broker the cost is the same BECAUSE the bank allocates for the total commission payout at the time the asset manager assigns the listing to the broker/agent.It will just be xx percent on the HUD to 1 brokerage or split between the buyers broker and the sellers broker.I am talking about the REO side in general and not short sales,etc.

Too damn many is the right answer - luckily my spam filter serves me welll in catching them so I don't have to experience the dread of resding each of them.But even worse is the fact that the other forms of spam (unsolicited ads for watches, male enlargement, pharmaceuticals, etc) show a marked increase after any time I have "subscribed" to some pitchman's new "offering".
