@Dominic BooksHi Dominic,Sounds like you’re in a great position to scale, even out of state.

It's been several years since I have used bigger pockets, even though I paid for it. We flipped several houses since last time I used it and when I originally started paying for the pro membership, we wanted to get in...

Because how could someone who is just starting to compete with someone who is already dominating the SEO website sector. just saying lol.
