Thanks so much for having me on the show!
It’s always fun talking with Brandon and Josh and I hope everyone that listens gets a lot of actionable advice out of it.
It was great chatting with you again, Danny. Thanks for joining us.
Great advice from Danny and thanks to Josh and Brandon. About the website, how can I be sure that web designer is doing a good job.
Nobody puts Brandon in a corner.
Great podcast Danny!
Great info! I recently found out about SumoMe and was wondering if it was worth trying out. Thanks for recommending it! This podcast was perfect for me in many ways because you hit home where I am at right now in my business. (just launched my website) Thank you for another great podcast!
Adrian – I can attest that LeadPropeller is an awesome platform. I’ve seen your website and it also looks very good. I didn’t have the know-how to build one from scratch. LeadPropeller is a great turn-key solution.
Thank you Dough, I found someone that built my site for a great price. If I didn’t just have that done I probably would have gone with Leadpropeller. Once I have a larger constant rate of deals I may even use leadpropeller as a second source.
Danny, you have had a lot of experience bidding on HUD properties. I just submitted my first (low ball) offer tonight on HUD. Typically how long does it take for them to respond?
Great Podcast, Danny! Thanks for the info!
I’m new to this whole world and I can’t stop listening to every podcast on bigger pockets! Great info and each episode is just more and more motivation. Thank you Danny!
Superb info!
