Also, how do you know they consistently deliver on the services they offer?

All I meant is if a pay platform delivers better results, pay the money.

I would estimate I spend more than a hundred dollars per property on initial set up time and it pays dividends when they deliver clicks, views, interested party’s and I can simply freshen the listing after each tenant.

-you speaking to the tenants before you are the owner is meaningless - either the seller delivers the property vacant at closing, or they don't. 

Having recently moved here, I am eager to apply my knowledge and deliver exceptional service as I embark on this exciting journey in the real estate industry.

It's tougher than it ever was but the deals are still out there.Lot's of wholesalers in the game and they are delivering some good products.Granted, we buy quite a few and close quickly so they send many deals to us as we snap them up.43609 has been our go to zip code for the last few years.Lot's of value and area is gentrifying a ton.Close to the zoo is top dollar stuff.Much success

I've heard so many horror stories about builders being late, delivering the wrong floorplans, shoddy work, etc. 

I agree the price tag is high (would be worth it if it actually delivered) but there is a need for a quality tool that investors could use to streamlining the process.
