Knowing local flood plains, city ordinances, future developments, market patterns, and countless other things is a mass amount of information to expect someone to research and digest when looking for property.Even with investors, the demographic that you claim is most likely to not need an agent, still want one typically on the buy side. 

My call or letter is apparently such an intrusion, but yet they have time to spend an hour writing a long-winded complaint or consulting with an attorney.If you don't want to be contacted by other people, yes, go live in the woods and disconnect yourself.Its amazing that somehow being advertised to yourselves is BAD, but you go on any other part of this site and will read countless threads about how to "target" IE "market to", IE "contact", IE "invade the privacy of" distressed sellers so you can get a deal.

So you can find countless stories of pit bulls who have bitten people?  

What I personally found to be really ugly by the way was the 20,000 gallons of crude that leaked from a broken pipe in a local canyon in SoCal - one of countless such leaks across the country.

You did what you did.. or.. wait.. let's rephrase .. you didn't do what I did, and.. well you are not top of google getting countless of free high quality leads.

I've spent countless hours educating myself and building my business.

I invest predominantly out of state and had success just like countless others.

I have also learned this by the countless hours I have spent researching, learning, looking at homes, building marketing with no results.

And also giving back; countless hours to help others to get started, because I remembered all to well how hard it was for me to find a good agent (took me years) or anyone who could help me (before BP!).
