Don't "lock down" your software on a specific machine or platform; run it on the web, and open up options to tie in to other apps and processes (online application & payments, for example).

It will also depend upon what you bring to the table in terms of experience, trainability, and how much time you plan to dedicate.

At this point, I'm really looking for a good CPA Firm that has someone that is dedicated to answering a phone, and taking information.

@Jimmy Moncrief were you looking specifically for a crowdfunding platform to list the deal on?

At the time I was in college so I didn't have any money to market and I was in a rural area in east texas so there was really no point in driving for dollars (or so I believed).Now that I have graduated and have a steady flow of income I have been dedicating most of my income towards marketing to get my business off the ground.

I would target a school with a CM program and also a required co-op program so they do have some field experience other than just book knowledge but they are still willing to learn and try new things and expand their knowledge base.I am currently a pre-junior in a 5 year Construction Management program and I am on my first co-op working as an estimator/project manager for a design/build construction management firm and this is very similar to what I do for my current job.So, if you targetted a recent graduate who was curious and willing to learn I think that you would be extremely happy with the results if you found someone who was hard working, dedicated, interested in this line of work, and willing to learn.

I came across the BP platform through a conversation that I had with someone that I met at a real estate investment seminar and knew that I had found what I was looking for.

I would not recommend doing a ton of online advertising or marketing unless you have at least an hour or two a day to dedicate to it.

I am a 19 year old college student from Iowa and for awhile now I have been dedicating myself to become further educated in the world of real estate investing.

A broker/agent shouldn't pin you down with an agreement however my clients are dedicated to me and I to them to reach their goals.Flaky buyers that are all over the place and out of control shot gunning offers to see what sticks I have no time for plus it would ruin my rep with sellers and the listing brokers.
