I'm only around 12 months in (since I've taken it seriously), and I don't do this full-time as I have another business. ...So I don't time to build a network of brokers......I don't have credibility in my area...Thus...I'm testing different ways to find deals on my own (with my wife) as there aren't any 'great' deals on the MLS in North Atlanta, courthouse auctions are a joke, most wholesalers around here are a joke too, and REOs are non-existent.

I’ll be a licensed CPA before the end of the year (1 test to go!). 

Let me know once you have it up, I can beta test it too! 

Run owner reports.After testing a few apps, one of them should stand out for you.

Otherwise it’s pooling money and does not pass the sec sniff test This could be a disaster.
