I don't have the answers by the way, just things to contemplate.More food for thought, if the goal is to increase membership, how can you query folks leaving - those that aren't already members?

Took a look at my books and noticed more than 25% of my business was coming from a marketing technique that requires less than 10% of my time..............Don't get me wrong....I have nothing against hard work but, my prayer has always been to work less and make more.As for firstpreston....been meaning to start with them, they're next on my agenda.Here's a couple of more sites for you.http://www.uslandco.comhttp://www.publicans.comUsland is free membership...I have no affiliation with them but, I pick up a deal from them every now and then.

Is it like a membership thing or can anyone come?

Membership in a club can catapult your success.

NARI) and see who is in the membership.

though i am still in process of setting up LLC, i know from reading other sites and articles that there is no limits on number of properties. if it is done right the LLC is it's own entity, with IRA owning membership shares.the one restriction that is tricky, is leveraging. if not set up correctly you could have to pay taxes, because you can't have debt in the IRA is the way i understand it.we will be setting ours up in such a way as to avoid this problem. though i don't know the specifics yet, i have talked to a couple of consultants and they say IRA investing in a LLC is the way to go, if done correctly. and they say we can avoid many restrictions and that there are ways to do it.

It seems doable but there will be fees to pay with each membership.

To me, this seems like a win/win-- the client saves money through a service that handles all of their legal needs (including a hopefully imminent closing) for $17/mo, and the agent makes commission from the sale of their client's membership.
