It was well organized and pretty well attended.

According to Richard Duncan (the author of that book I mentioned), Japan is never going to be back up, 'cause the same Japanese organizations are outsourcing their Car manufacturing to China (one example) already and so are some of their other industry related operations...Your take on Deflation and Depression is something I support Totally.

I would want a site that allows buyers to submit their information on the property they want to sell, and so far, I've only seen companies that charge $500+ plus $50/month for setting that up.Dan,I think that setting up a site to generate "leads" is a waste of time for most investors and real estate agents. the amount of energy required to drive local traffic to that site is almost a full time job.

I don't see how the economy of scale eluded to in this strategy can be effective unless managed in a way that organizes the sales in a concentrated area.

My point is, to list or sell an existing resturant, you need to understand the business, not how to cook, but work flows, storage reqirements, placement and uses of equipment, traffic flows, health regulations that are property issues, etc.

More organized and less time consuming that searching through a bunch of articles & forum posts.

Personally, I do not see anything wrong with excel spreadsheets as it is organized better.

If it were not for BiggerPockets, I would have no business.I got the info I needed to close my first wholesale hereI found my first Buyer hereI've done business with a dozen or more people that I've met hereI learned how to market successfully hereThe reference that a colleague of mine wrote on my profile page skyrocketed my web and marketing biz...The backlinks from this site have incredible SEO juice, and I've had mucho traffic to my site from here...that results in lower PPC costsHelping others not only generates good karma, but reinforces the core RE principles within me.All in all, I'd have to say I'm pretty happy with this site.

The property was owned by a charitable organization that housed needy families who didn't pay rent, or paid very little and received section 8 help.Unfortunately, the remodel has taken a little longer than I expected but I am sure that with a little patience, I will get them rented. 

Well this happens to be impeccable timing @Tim Farrell , because not only do I own and invest in Contra Costa County (Richmond now, looking at other areas in the Bay), but I organize a monthly meetup of local investors in Oakland every month.
