That is not true.

Most of the "Sub-To" community members I've met on the journey are the most overzealous people in the game.

I agree with @Michael Baum, are they true comparables? 

well if this was remotely true I would pay the 35k and sit back let them do all the work and make my 200k a year.  

The old adage is true in real estate as other aspects of life - if it seems to good to be true it probably is. 

I don't think anyone has ever said anything about sheets, towels, Keurigs, wifi speed, tv stations, pack-n-plays, the games in the game room, the upgraded appliances, etc.

I'm new to the real estate game and have heard a lof of good things about Propstream and Dealmachine.
