The problem is  I need to learn a secret handshake or some such thing to get my offers accepted.

But even if you use fancy software, that's not where the secret sauce is.  

"There is no secret to becoming rich, just spend your life acquiring income producing assets."

I've stated many times, there is NO secret to making money.

That means while I'm technically a landlord, I'm a landlord to myself...So in otherwords, I'm a highly motivated, highly researched, ready to act individual who can't quite figure out the right niche to get rolling in... and by the way I'm a car guy so wish I had more time to race and spend on the track, which is one of my secret motivations of more passive income streams. 

This is the secret sauce.

There is no secret sauce method, virtually every home for sale is on trademe.  

We get around & have double top secrets on how to analyze data.https://batchgeo.com

Another secret area, no one knows about.

That goes to my guru remark above, that attempting to do probate deals can be pretty thin and that the strategy is sometimes sold as some special opportunity if you know the secrets, well, there are no secrets.
