If you hit a time limit you have for yourself to sell and still haven't had offers, that would be a good time to start answering the endless stream of phone calls, emails, and door knocks you'll get from agents looking to list for you. 

After all if we all wanted to help each other a little more, instead of looking for things for free in return, imagine the endless boundaries we could conquer.

I use Zillow as my main comp runner but I do not really get much success.

As I prepare to invest, I have the Pro membership, I watch endless videos and listen to every BP podcast, I've bought the books, etc, etc."

I feel overwhelmed by the endless options for investing.
