After thinking for quite some time on it, I did end up deciding to join a team at KW (I was already going to join KW, just not sure about the team).I'd be more than happy to talk with you about my experience if you'd like to set up some time to chat and I can help you weigh some of your personal pros and cons. 

Hey Frank -- glad to hear you're chatting with our Investment Counselors. 

Can find some great writers on those platforms for reasonable prices

Message me If you wanna chat about the market trends or anything else in SD

I look forward to chatting and discussing with all of you in the forums!

To put it another way, do you care whether or not the platform has recommended the deal?

If you like, please send me a message and we can chat. 

You can gain experience in chatting with potential sellers - no one is born with this skill, it is manufactured by you.

For about a year I kind of stagnated because I was focused on paying off my vehicle but I continued to read books, listen to podcast on BP and chat with other colleagues who were interested in REI.Fast forward to this summer my car was paid off my stocks were doing pretty decent but I still had made no real advancement in pursuing my goals of purchasing a property.  

Do you wanna have a free beer and chat over RE?
