You get to feel really good about yourself without every having to understand economics or how the business works(same with socialism)2.

Attending various events will help you socialize and meet individuals that can help you find what works best for you. 

This is not the case, there are over a million members here and a lot are serious entrepreneurs who have many other priorities, busy lives etc. which means you have to be proactive, when socializing, engaging, communicating ideas and asking for help.2) There is typical no absolute answer: Everything in life is nuanced and the advice you receive may be great but you have to take into consideration your circumstances, and know yourself.

@Noah Levenson I’m considering running ads to Sellers of distressed properties in my area on social media’s platform. 

@Sandi L williamsThis will probably not help you in the short term, but if you are going to be in the business long term, you need to build contacts, so when a deal materializes you have access to capital, either debt or equity, fast.In today’s world, it can be done utilizing social networking online, but is much quicker utilizing face to face meetings.

Wow, what an amazing reply.Thank you for that info.I just wanted to say something that really is irrelevant here, but just an FYI.The people that have seen my posts around know I am a HUGE critic when it comes to DMM...What I disagree with is the underlying social agreement that says 1% is standard.If you take that as your norm, then how will DMM EVER get better.If you think about it, there is not a system (that I know of) with a 1% efficiency that is labeled  "OK".No ROI of 1% is good.

I never had an account with them, never even lived in that town, and they're on the phone trying to trick me to give them my social security number and mailing address.

This poor guy got a fairly savvy real estate investor who is fully educated on the slimy tactics of wholesalers, so he gets ripped apart and put on blast on social media instead of stealing a property out from under me.
