Have you ever blended private money with bank lending on the same deal?

I am curious to uncover how all the rest of the investors (and agents and brokers) here feel about real estate agents and real estate agent fees in today's digital age where we have so much information that we can dig up on our owns from: county records, mortgage/liens, previous purchase prices, land values, tax histories, rent price history and the advent of online listing services and other sources of real estate wholesale listings and auction agencies online.

It’s awesome to see someone blending skill, community, and business the way you are.

That’s such an inspiring journey—you’ve really carved your own path and it’s awesome to see how you blended real estate with lifestyle freedom.

Sounds like you’re blending tech, creativity, and real estate in a pretty powerful way.

At the same time, I’ve backed that up with formal education, earning my MBA and completing IREM’s Certified Property Manager (CPM®) designation.That blend of experience and education has shaped how I work with investors: practical, no-nonsense, and grounded in what actually drives results.

SEO builds organic leads over time, which brings down the blended cost of every lead.For example:Spend $1,000 on PPC --10 leads ($100/lead).SEO generates 10 more organic leads.Total = 20 leads --blended cost per lead = $50.It takes serious effort and optimization and knowhow, but when done right, the PPC + SEO combo is hands-down the most sustainable, profitable lead gen engine I’ve seen in this business.Also, when you're running Google Ads, the ONLY metric you should care about is Cost Per Acquisition (lead). 

Uncovered scammers?

Connecting with experienced local agents and wholesalers who know off-market deals can save you time and uncover better opportunities.

That Pueblo deal sounds like it has strong potential for the right JV partner.Since you’re blending acquisitions with creative structuring, you’ll find plenty of folks here who share that mindset.
