Guys;  MySQL is easily installed on any PC or Mac :)  In fact, so is the Apache server, PHP and Perl - - my laptop is my development platform for web services.As to what data is important or useful is GREATLY dependent upon the intended usage.

What things have you seen in MKE agents that makes you have the opinion (I'm crossing my fingers that I don't do them!)

This is a great platform to build your brand and communicate your expertise, value and goals to a prime audience of investors, lenders, agents, wholesalers, contractors, etc.

Finally found several in one weekend that I thought were prospects and finally crossed the threshold of action and put bids on two.  

Did you dot all your i's and cross all your t's?

Hey @Benjamin Kopf ,I think you're referring to the meetup tomorrow on the 4th.The skinny on it is tomorrow night at 6:30 PM at Noli's Pizzeria in Midtown-crossing/Blackstone district.I've gotten RSVPs from about 10 people so far.

Also market it to the local REIA's; and of course market it on the on-line platforms.

You could call some local credit unions and see of they have credit builder loans. you put say $1000 in a secured savings account and borrow against it as an installment loan pay it off in a year, I'm sure there are other ways but sometimes you need to pay the toll to cross the bridge.

They are very inefficient and if you have the time to waist knock yourself out, but I don't see how they move houses now that they have switched over to the HUDZU platform. 

Worth checking out (some googling should get you the programs - TD Cross Border Banking is the one I've used personally to handle all my cross border banking needs, although never got a mortgage with them).Hope this helps - I'm sure if you give some more details around what hurdles you're trying to get past (financing, finding properties, property management, cross-border tax issues, etc.) you'll get lots of advice!
