People are cutting the fat, cutting their more challenging properties or deleveraging a bit while they have had a lot of growth in value.

I'm seeing guys standing out at the corner all the time lately.Marlboro in one hand sign around their neck and a cell phone in the other it makes me sick.

OK so long story short when I became an agent I wanted a second number and a local number (my cell is from growing up out of state...like way out of state), so I signed up for Tresta (mostly because BP had a code and you know I love to support!)

The critters eat fat and protein (food and pee).  

Aloha,In 30 years I have never provided my cell number to Tenants.

@Darius Ogloza I fat fingered that $50K.

I am unwilling to work with any lender that won't give me their cell number.Maybe I am old school, but I take you on your word.

They do it because they make a royalty off of GROSS SALES.So they could give a rat's aS# if the business owner makes money as long as corporate gets a fat check based on volume of sales and maintains market share.It's all about the NET after expenses.You will see franchise models all the time tout gross sales or someone selling a business.Gross sales doesn't mean jack.If someone could do home vestors for 10,000 that's not nearly as bad as 80,000.If you spent 5,000 on marketing yourself you would get just as good or much better results than dropping 10,000.If you want it in a nice little box you will pay for it.

Your real ROI won't be known til the fat lady sings.

Set yourself up a Skype account and have it answer the calls at the very least and skype can send you the callers message to be played back from your cell.
