Nick B that advice is very bold and comes with heavy consequences.

I am looking to start a group with newer agents in the area so we can pool our knowledge and shorten the learning curve so we all can close a lot of sales so we do not become statistics haha, hit me up privately if you are interested in networking and learning together.

When it comes to collections, the faster you  have it on their credit report, statistics show  the better chances of collecting.

OTH if you took that 250K and made some bold Reit moves 10 years ago you would be sitting on well over 1 mil liquid and paying 60k annually in dividends today.

There is no point in starting if you cannot sustain because statistical data shows that responses typically occur after at least 3+ mailings.

Does anyone have any recommendations on where the best source of statistics for a specific area can be gleamed from?
