even with the god awful weather and other nightmares of living here the people are probably some of the nicest you will ever meet in a metro area of 2 million.. customer service at stores is still done with a smile.. and a hello.. they pump your gas for you  ( state law and women love that)... no sales tax ( women love that more)..

The system he used to make 100s of millions!

They only lower their opening bid to attract bidders.

@Bryan Hancock  Also I defiantly think this regional as well.1 million in certain markets for low value asset players can go a long way.in our markets here in Oregon and yours in Austin that's one house maybe 2 .. at least new build specs.and in most of the bay area or better parts of LA its one if your lucky  Same with high dollar east coast or north side Chicago etc.

Find and negotiate an equity pack property and the MONEY will come, or just flip and you don't need the money.Money is not the key to real estate success - the key that will unlock the doors to many transactions is the deal, the knowledge to negotiate, the ability to think of 10 ways to write an offer, finding great properties and the ability to negotiate an attractive transaction.Why buy property when you can CONTROL a property and flip it while you are in contract.Selling something you don't own is the highest leverage in the world ----I have been doing Control and Roll for years now and it is the fastest way to make short term cash profits - try it, it works!

Goal is to get to acquire 1 million dollars of real estate in the next 5 years.

I am attracted to the BRRRR model -- it seems like an intelligent way to methodically build a good-sized portfolio by reinvesting my original equity over and over, but I also acknowledge that there's a lot to learn. 

Hi @Kris Freeberg, A lot of people I communicate with get turned off from the price of Appfolio and the $12 million losses they make each year, and are worried what is going to happen to them when they run out of money.I bet a lot of others here would be curious about any other platforms you happened to look into as well.  

Thanks a million.

Anyway, I learned that vetting tenants and that having to low of a price point attracts the wrong people.thanks guys
