As Alex mentioned (thanks Alex), I run the Santa Barbara meetup.

Gita,At least the way I prefer to do things is to only run accrual based accounting activity on my day to day operations.

I will move forward with my journey and just follow the positive people in this group that is amazing.I get the Ra RA Ra stuff.. just sometimes reality comes into play.. and its sad to see people run down these rabbit holes.. when those with decades of experience in the industry know better.. just trying to give both sides..   

This is why people are getting pissed with cold callers and your seeing very poor response/appointment/sales rates with PS data.This is what Joel Bongco has stated alsoIts absolutely true and I can go further and quantify exactly how bad the data is using my own study comparing PS to county records.I compared PS preforeclosure leads to county records across 167 counties in Texas (67), Florida (50) and California (45) by running searches for both PS ad the County recorders datbase for the period 08/01/2024 - -09/30/2024 and found thatFor TX which i measure preforeclosure leads as all lis pendens, appoinment of substititute trustee (Not a NoD but used for a similar indication) and notice of trustee filings.

However, when I am unable to run screening reports due to this, we can push them to our "alternate screening".

Look at what things cost, what things rent out for, and run the numbers. 

These costs for most of the individuals are considered personal in nature (unless you have a RE portfolio that is run like a business; see below).

The contractors you run into inside & outside the store, will be hard workers.Good luck!

The flippers we personally work with in California have not run into this issue (as far as I'm aware).

You can run ads directing people to your blogs or white papers, etc.
