It'll be nice to get some of the details after the conference.

I thought I'd start this thread to let people share what took away from the conference.

Annual E&O is $200, there is a small monthly fee to tap into their ZipForms system (zero paper system), but that is all you pay to the broker, and they provide a conference room that you can use when you like, a marketing dept that will assist you as needed, and a nice "virtual office" web environment.There is another local agency that is $300/month flat fee, and you keep 100%.

At a conference presentation, from the man himself, in 2001.

After the speakers at the conference did their subject-to presentation, I attempted to meet with them outside and ask a couple of questions about some of the things they do.

@Michael Baum I got it from one of the sessions at a vacation rental conference.

Many will have listings of properties they manage that are for sale.Real estate investment conferences and meetups.

I've been in this space for 10+ years and have closed a tremendous amount of commercial with rates typically at 12 + 2 or 3 at the most - Riverdale Funding needs a    #Realitycheck  if you are looking for Hard money lenders that understand  the business and are willing to work with you on getting the deal done, i would highly suggest going to the Pitbull conference, most of the lenders in attendance have been in this space for quite sometime and are very motivated to earn your business and make deals... ( https://pitbullconference.com/ )  they also have an extensive list of lenders on their site..  

I hope Brandon and the leadership at BP can see these forums and the site overall as a way to connect a community - and I also hope the leadership has its own business interests separate from BP's ability to drive traffic/create revenue/income, etc --- and can view BP more as a service or academic pursuit.
