McKellar Newsom, I signed up for a Pro account a few months after I created my free account.  Why?

Simple.

I've learned more from the Forums, Blogs and Articles than from a host of books and seminars.

The amount of money that a Pro account costs annually is a fraction of the cost I would have had to pay for what I am learning.

And how can you beat learning from investors who live the business every day versus people who make their money primarily from selling books/seminars/etc about real estate investing?

I specialize in one small area of real estate investing.  I contribute what I know on that area.  I'm learning about all the other areas of real estate investing that I plan on getting involved in.

So McKellar Newsom says she is in...how about anyone else?    The response on this forum has been excellent, but here are some great features you can not get unless you area  PRO member:

- Who is looking at your profile?  See which members are checking out your profile and learning about your business

- Task manager and even folders within task manager to keep up to date and organized.

- Colleague and PM search features, which I use on a regular basis
 
- I am a huge fan of being able to post your log on your signature line.  I am all about developing and improving my brand and having that logo is very important on this site.

- Increased colleague limits.

- Ability to sort all users by tags.  Who are the retailers, who are the rehabbers, who are the wholesalers and mortgage companies, etc...

- AND...

Only PRO members can post in the Deal Making and Classifieds which are tremendous bonuses and probably a big reason for many PRO members, but really there are so many more reasons to join for what amounts to a pittance...

Hope to see the PRO button under your profile soon.

Call it a small tiny finders fee for josh. If youve gotten one extra deal from bp, it's nice to compensate the creator once in a while :)

McKellar Newsom I think there are 2 great reasons to sign up for PRO account.  1.  As Leo Kingston pointed out, you get better access and greater ability to connect.  That is what this site is really all about.

2.  Is a little bit more of a personal decision, but I think this is a really important site for real estate investors and investing.  So many on this site are happy to see the advertising is tightly controlled and that their information is not sold to every marketer out there and that there is a very high standard and a great deal of respect for the users on this site.  That is a not cheap.  That means that Joshua Dorkin makes a lot of hard decisions but presents a better site.  For that, I will gladly pay a little more each year to have a PRO account.  I think its worth a lot more that what I am charged.
