The land owners front money for material costs based on a bid we provide for the structures (this is not money they need to borrow).

For anyone that didn't know, I figured I'd throw this out there because it's not apparent, but it is true.Cody's "Deal Automator" is RealEFlow with the following changes:- It's tuned to Cody's marketing material, but you can upload and build your own.- It's capped at 5 prefab websites that you don't need your own hosting for.- It doesn't seem to have access to RealEFlow's newer features, which are monthly add ons.I bought this thing 3 years ago for a one-time price.

Every 5 years there will be a legitimate strategy that gets promoted as the newest "Get rich tomorrow" BS that gets overhyped by the sharks.
