Then you will have to pay MLS dues which are currently like $126/quarter.For the mortgage stuff the fact the mortgage broker doesn't want to know what you are doing is a little bit of a red flag.

There can also be a bunch of red tape and restrictions to buying and exiting your investment.I have investors from other countries as clients buying commercial here in the U.SJapan, Australia, Canada, UAE are some of my clients.

I've been using REDx for non-owner occupied and pre-foreclosure leads. I would say that only 40% of the numbers work.

Does anyone else here use RedX, Landvoice, and Vulcan. What has been your experience?

I've learned a lot in the past couple weeks here (just learned what yellow letters are yesterday), and I just went to staples and bought some yellow note pads, envelopes, and red pens.

I am looking at this in a new light now, I can also see how being a REI/RED can be CREATIVE.

Is that a red flag?

I suggest envolopes from you local dollar store and stamps books from the post office, they are cheaper when you by them in booklets.and if you have the list in a spreadsheet, color coordinate them every time the call Red, Green.

I am getting better at spotting red flags.Agree that having policies and rental criteria are the best way to make the decision less personal and more facts and data driven.

I feel like I'd rather wait until I find a house before pooling funds bc it could take a couple months and I'd hate for everyone's money to be sitting there not being utilized.Thanks guys, I hate red tape and just want to get to the deals!

Fresh paint and a nice red front door goes a long way.As far as the deck/patio, it obviously depends on the property, but It should help the property sell quickly which is worth money, but wont get you much of ROI.
