The white label stuff with built-it APIs may be interesting for our website for screening investors though.

Although it's possible to be a successful B&H investor with just those three ingredients, I'm finding I can get much farther much faster with good relationships with other investors.Therefore, like @Joshua Jensen mentioned, the networking aspect (for those who use it) makes the $150 annual dues more than worth it.Sure, you can meet local investors here on BP, but there's nothing like meeting in person and many of the local investors are not on BP (or at least are not actively making posts here).It sounds like the advice you received was wrt the TREIA general meeting.  

I printed the labels and it took a about 4-5 hours for me to just attach all the labels and stamps.

It has to do with being labeled as a "dealer" with the IRS.  

There also are a ton of do it yourself pamphlets and taking time to read product labels and installation instructions is also helpful.

I was particularly impressed by the modularized containers with shipping labels set to go to all points nationally.

Otherwise, I've noticed that all the core principles are the same for investing in Europe (US and European laws are pretty similar most of the time when it comes to business, usually just a different label or a little different twist).  

All I had to do is label each transaction; such a relief not having to go through bank statements at the end of the year or hand track receipts as they come in which end up all over the house.

Of course not -- you could have purchased the raw ingredients yourself and made your own hamburger at the wholesale price, thus saving yourself that additional profit paid to the restaurant.
