Just points out how ludicrous it is when people with no experience, knowledge and capital believe that by watching upteen hours of puff videos or paying $20k - $50k for telephone access to a failed salesman reading from a script will enable them to uncover properties selling for a fraction of their value and obviously overlooked by the real estate professionals and full time investors active every day.   

What works for me is keeping it real and consistent online, educating people every day with real life deals, problems, and solutions.

Be present...I'm onsite everyday for renovations.

Every day some new lender calls saying, “Your file’s almost approved!”

The issue is that ChatGPT is at a pace where it will be able to do everything more and more everyday.

Don't depend on your broker for leads.There is no guru magic or best CRM and don't chase shiney flashy systems.MEET and talk to as many people as you can, every day, every week...ask them if there are empty houses in their neighborhood, problem houses, PODs in the drive, anyone moving at work, etc. 

How do you vet and manage contractors better (especially when you can’t be there every day)?

Everyday I request disclosure docs and ask him to submit offer after offer.

Ha - you just never know where this job will take you - something different everyday!

I have no issue finding houses, but I'd rather have a connection and develop a business relationship with an investor rather than have to struggle on every sale to find different people.I feel like reaching out to people is something that doesn't work well at random anymore and I have a few people I have built relationships with and enjoy working with them, but they obviously can't buy everything I find especially with the mass volume I find every day (around 60 a month).Does anyone have any recommendations for connecting with people and building a business relationship list with so that I can not only sell to them, but have it be reliable on both ends?
