Quote from @Christopher Johnson: @Scott Trench - FALSE - DECEPTIVE POST - It's sad people resort to this online bullying, invasion of privacy, attacking our staff, and clearly attempts to blackmail us for $. 

More and more I see buyers look online, drive out to the house, and then while sitting in front of the house, CALL. 

Hey @Ingrid Hussey, we’d also recommend QuickBooks—specifically QuickBooks Online—so you’re not limited by Mac or PC and can access it from anywhere (not just your local system).

These firms with large online presences use fear mongering techniques to sell services without ever fully explaining how their entity structures actually benefit the client.

Your goal is to get a tenant who can navigate an online portal for maintenance request and paying rent online.   

Again, the BiggerPockets store has some books on this topic, or you can learn about it by watching podcasts, reading blogs, and interacting on the forum.

Any brokerage can be the right fit for you so long as you commit to taking initiative and putting in the work.By 'work', I mean income-producing activities (lead generation and follow-up) i.e. cold calling, door-knocking, contacting your sphere of influence, networking, hosting open houses, running online advertising, marketing (paper or online), or anything else that will get you in front of prospective clients.My first broker rarely answered my phone calls and by the time she responded, I'd often already have the answer I was looking for.

When it was all said and done I still ended up being able to pull about 5 to 10k more out of it than I put into it.Current mortgage including taxes and insurance is $1,519 and it's currently rented for $2,546/month.Yes, you can buy a house at auction that you then flip and sell for market value.And yes, I have participated in online auctions.

I really want to do local meetups and interact with more advanced investors but don’t know where to start.
