thanks Matt,As you probably see, I am new to real estate biz, I spent 12 years running product team in the software company which built POS solutions for retail sector.So RE is my next venture, and from what I see so far the name of the game today and for years to come is choosing right technology and marketing tools.So it's tough with out experience in RE to define all systems and processes, I am beginning to understand the theory and systems on the high level, but I am sure once I actually spend sometime working it will be much easier.I feel like the best thing to do at this point is to focus on basics like CRM and print, emai, text, social marketing campaign automation, once those things are in place and work smoothly, will be able to proceed to stage 2,To be frank, I am looking to learn this business and then comeback into software sector in RE segment, lot of good tools out there but as usual - lots of gapsI will be happy to keep intouch and colobirate on these topics

Have been using the tools on BP to determine if they are really deals.  

The Cuban refugee had is box of Mechanics tools in the trunk of his car and the day we got laid off, he already had been hired by the Chevrolet Dealership, with Benefits.

Hi @Chase Steven Barber  have you tried using the BP Wholesale Calculator under Tools?

I thank you for brining this tool to my attention.

When I started, computers were prevalent but not the free tools available now to research.

Any advice on how to find my first deal minus these tools?

They will give you tools like dotloop, you'll have the name (Century 21, Coldwell Banker, etc.), and you will have training in a classroom environment.

The popular military discounts at EVERY retailer are ALL only for personal use.

The funny part is that Denver-proper has become so popular and costs have gone up so much in the last 5 years that what you're describing has already taken place and the suburbs are seeing similar increases, at least in the more desirable areas.
