I guess my friend is just afraid of being a small fish in a big pond.

Here's a good out-doorsy metaphor for you: We all fish from the same lake, and for the most part we use the same sonar.

As the saying goes there are many more fish in the sea.Some sellers can't be educated until it is hurting their pockets. 

You'll be amazed how many people are involved in REI or know someone who is and is a great way to find a deal and even better way to broaden your network. 

Hi Aaron-The question with the Lazy millionare system is it dictates how can fish for motivated seller using the automated deal finder/ data cruncher and anaylze using dela analyzer and then even be able to connect to invester all through one system.

The REIA depends on fresh fish for gurus.

I call this fishing the MLS.

I don't do Lonnie deals but I would agree that you probably should look for other fish in the sea.Are you intending on renting out homes ?

I am old and retired; if there is stuff that needs to get done I go fishing.

You can't go fishing with one type of lure.
