@david lecko what is the deal credit.   I can't seem to view the complete write up on the page.   Thanks

 A DealCredit is virtual currency inside the app. 1 DealCredit can be used for sending a piece of mail. You can also use a DealCredit to do an Enhanced Search, which is an instant skip trace to get the owner's phone number, email address, and other property addresses linked to that owner. A DealCredit currently costs $.99 on the basic plan, and $.80 on the Enterprise Plan of DealMachine. I hope that helps! Happy DealFinding!

 You can use DealMachine on your iPad within Safari! It is designed to look great and work smoothly that way, even the route tracking feature works!

@David Wrenn sorry to hear about your job. If you have $100 to spend you're going to want to use strategies that weigh more on your time but can generate great results (driving for dollars, cold calling, door knocking, etc).

@Kurt Michaelson thank you so much for the shout out! I really appreciate it. What are you doing now that you finished your 9 months Ubering and driving for dollars?

Post: Does Number of Days on MLS affect your buying decisions?

@Mo Farraj I have used the number of days on the MLS as a filter then made lower offers to those houses that have been listed for many days. I have purchased 2 properties that were 200 and 300 days old on the MLS, and both of them were awesome deals better than 1% rule. 412 Jenny Ln in Carmel, IN bought for $190,000 rents for $2025 /mo and 6844 Keystone Ave, Indianapolis, IN paid $104,000 rents for $1250 / mo. Both deals on my blog.

@Mark Mesedahl huge thank you for the shout out! I appreciate it.

@Taryn Lewis awesome job finding a vacant property! We have seen that it takes finding about 200 properties like that (vacant, or occupied and needs maintenance) and sending mail to them 3x each to get 1 deal! Keep up the good work!
