I was a construction contractor when I was young so I figure why not give REI a try with these artificially low prices.

Are you looking to generate reports and analytics that will provide actionable business intelligence?

I will say this I question someones intelligence when they cannot put together a sentence without proper punctuation and grammar.

If you take time to educate yourself, network with other investors, and try to post intelligently, you will see the benefits.

Someone who can analyze quality deals and present them to you intelligently is worth whatever their fee is, especially if it makes you $$.

That's a tough one, I'm sure there are a few 16 or 17 years olds out there that are pretty intelligent and can hold a conversation about real estate and ask good questions and just want to learn. 

If you can leverage, intelligently, to put yourself into another property that cash-flows but still cash-flow on the subject, that's certainly worth looking into. 

I beg to differPlanning before taking action is already showing a certain level of wisdomKnowing to buy at 20% below market value or better already is making sense whether this conclusion came for insight, intelligence, or listening to those that do have many years of experience in our particular field. 

The focus is on helping landlords purchase more intelligently and manage better.  

I find that both ways usually gives me a 'range' of what I should offer and I make the most intelligent (at least i'd like to think so) decision from there.
