Patrick, any updates on progress of your idea?  With the population getting larger every year and the price of food skyrocketing....not only is this efficient but logically a sound business venture for the foreseeable future

New to BP and am looking for any suggestions for a company( Besides Listsource ) that can provide lists of motivated seller leads that have multiple levels of motivation to start an aggressive and targeted direct mail campaign. Thanks in advance

Hi, going to try to keep this brief...was stuck in research mode for a long time. Recently took the plunge to get out of my shell, and so here I am. Much to learn and realize its not an event but a process. And whats the best teacher?Looking forward to meeting likeminded people who share the love of working with others in the REI world. The possibilities are truly endless. Thanks

Noah, Hi, great topic for a thread. Very interesting...as I know little to none about this subject but see its value and revelance in our ever increasing high tech world. I would be interested in hearing more about how someone on a low marketing budget could start out in a practical way and then ramp it up as more sales could mean larger campaigns(snowball effect)

Mario, eventually this will catch on...as investors seek other areas to invest in or are attractive enough ? (ROI) Virtual auctions may become a real thing, where people buy and sell from their sofa after dinner. I mean the trend for instant gratification isn't going away anytime soon...conveinance will remain the springboard for some industries to work out the kinks to make these type of transactions happen. For example title companies prescreening deeds so they can guaranty a clear title,cyber escrows etc. Food for thought for sure but I am convinced that soon after 5g networks are implemented many changes will come almost overnight

Rita, sounds like my kind of meetup ! Too bad I am on the kitty corner of the country. Gets me to thinking of how I could attend (Virtually? Skype?) also inspires me to start one in my area along the same line....Go Girl Power

Fast Forward Investing by Jon D.Markman…. Why? A glimpse at the emerging technologies that are here now, and how they will affect our very near future. Fascinating and has sparked many ideas to position myself now for the sweeping changes in the REI world
