Then I would focus on my daughter and doing RE to continue to build that passive income.And you better believe math lessons are going to involve CAP rates, COC, ROI and other useful equations, I've got to leverage her for my staying home somehow. ;)

They made FortuneBuilders and CT Homes made $17million last year and yes they do good work, however a lot of the $17 million made came from the educational side of the business, selling the "mastery program" to put it simpler...inorder to make $17 Million in just rehabbing and flipping you would need to make:$50,000 NET profit every single day for 365 days a year...that would equate to $18,250,000...just a little food for thought ;)

I think people equate investors with slumlords because the good stories never get told.

Everyone needs to understand the MLS's and how the operate vary by state and even county sometimes for listing properties.So your experiences will not necessarily be exact or equate to what Ibrahim will experience.I would first as mentioned check your IC agreement with your broker to determine what it stipulates with your own personal listings.It might say one free a year or a reduced rate etc.

Still haven't figured out how to get around them if they are in equator.

Its all about post counts and for good bad or indifferent many folks equate post counts and I guess votes to a persons business acumen or credibility.

Professional credible clear face shot.They much rather know about you, than anything else.With direct mail marketing .. heck with investing, you really need to stop considering sellers being this unknown entity in this equation.

Neither automatically equates to having proper knowledge to do a specific job or that it will be completed correctly.  

Most investors think busy work equates to profitability and it doesn't. 

We've been refining it for years and now get 10 calls for every 100 mailers and for us that equates to one deal under contract.Make sure you always have someone who always answers the phone.
