I recognize that there is a sort of vibe in the real estate marketing world that spam is harmless and maybe even necessary to be competitive, but I am an OG techie and outside of the "wolfish" real estate sales world, spamming is usually seen as a slightly shady thing to do.  

Sometimes, being genuine with agents or homeowners can go a long way as well.

Sorry for not recognizing you haha.

It was hard to be so far away from the home (we live near Monterey) and it just is not there yet with ppl recognizing the potential.

If you consistently analyze properties, it will be much easier to recognize a good deal when it shows up.

You already recognize there will be a ramp up stage where you personally invest more time in the development. 

If you're going to be calling people, recognize that getting quality leads and numbers takes real effort.If it's the latter, and people aren't spending much time on the phone with you, that's ok. 

Though, you really have to study the market and know what areas you want to invest in so that you can recognize opportunities when they come to you. 

One workaround is to wait if you have that luxury and are genuinely sold on that specific area. 

I know Cody has a successful investment biz and not sure why he turns these guys loose when his investments are doing so well...I was really hoping he would genuinely want to give back to some students.
