In a recent forum thread, a fairly new member to our community made a post which was intended to attract readers to his own site in hopes of selling his products/services.It is clear that this person had more than adequate experience and knowledge on very important RE topics, but his approach was met with harshness as the thread started out as an attempt to receive before the give.As such, let this be an example to all new and seasoned members here at BP Nation: If you want to sell something (product or service), you will be better served in the giving, then receiving version of this topic.Example, if you want to get, then GIVE FIRST!

I have not had to run my newbie properties through QB yet but I do enjoy the new online version.

Unfortunately this is just the long version of IT DEPENDS!

This is the link from which I downloaded the formhttp://www.biggerpockets.com/files/user/liverlarso...In searching I see that he has uploaded a newer version about 2 weeks agoSo i will definitely check it out.I do use the comps to the best of my newbie ability from Zillow of past sales.

If you think a response you read is good or answers another member's question well cast a vote for it.It's our own version of liking something on Facebook provided you're familiar with that.

Jed Kritenbrink Gautam Venkatesan Brett Russell I now understand a simplified version of a short sale, thanks to you guys.Much appreciated.

I still use the free version...LOL

This seems to be a widget from propertyradar.comThat's a service which costs $59 per month and contains trustee auction listings, listings from realtor.com, and very old/out of sync MLS listings.The one thing I like about it is that it's very useful to generate accurate comps with a few clicks (I'm talking about the paid version).Jean

There is a free and a paid version.

@Andriana Babikian heres an example, there is a pretty successful whole seller in my area( hes damn near like a mini version of an MLS because he always has so many properties under contract) and this is what he does:1-  posts bandit signs "buy your house for cash", goes up to houses that appear in disrepair but in good areas and offers to buy their house, sends out letters to specific areas of town that he likes to get abandoned or neglected properties in, etc. 2 - once he finds a potential property and owner that is willing to sell but for some reason such as property condition cant sell in a traditional manner or simply wants the property gone asap, he will negotiate a sale price with the owner.
