In my opinion, they flood the web with fictitious positive reviews to make it more difficult to find the bad ones.  

I just searched the web and called everyone listed as a Maryland hard money lender.

Now the trip advisor app and similar web sites allow us to find what we want.

They have a mobile app and their web page is mobile friendly.  

These don’t form over emails, solicitations from LinkedIn, Craigslist, or any other place on the web, in general.

How much money do you need to spend before you make a deal.The reason DMM flat out SUCKS is because more than most other marketing venues, DMM is highly unreliable because it depends where you get your list from, what people you target and it relies mainly on luck.The more mailers you send out the luckier you will get.What you should be doing is figure out the cost/deal for PPC, Facebook ads, DMM, Cold Calling etc. etc and then make sure you have the required funds available BEFORE you spend a cent or ask anyone here if that amount is good enough.Asking random people here on BP if $3K is enough...

I can't wait to have the money to have someone else take care of web marketing & SEO.

Marc, I don't use them but there are companies you can find on the web who will do title searches for anyone, for $85 or so.

I would have sent communications to the judges in this case to forewarn each that this was a complicated, tangled web ... not just a 15 minute case that the judge can read and decide from the bench.  

@Steve BabiakI just looked at the 1031 Corp web site.
