It's not comping, it's not the contracts, it's not knowing what a rehab on a property is going to costs, it's not your sales skills...Most struggle in real estate because they think like a real estate agent.They don't think like a marketer.Hear me out.Once you think like a marketer, that's when business happens.That's when you as a real estate agent actually drum up business.Spending time with your broker at a coffee shop to analyzewhat neighborhoods are best for opportunity is pointlessif you have no one to talk to who is buying or selling a housein said neighborhood.Without leads, everything else is almost pointless.You can learn all that other stuff rather quickly.It's the difference between just in case learning and just in time learning.If you're not getting leads, you're probably spending a lot of timedriving clients around and/or taking listings you know make no sense.

@Renee Adams I get it, you’re trying to drum up business for your property mgmt firm but you just keep posting the same topics over and over.

And to get there means sizable equity, as I keep banging on that drum cash-flow is a result.

I have just been educating myself and been connecting with investors and developers to drum up business and learn from their experiences.

Josh Dorkin was banging the cashflow drum long before Brandon Turner came on board.

More established vacation rentals can do this, but the hum-drum regular hotel-style (nothing special), or newbies would have an issue doing this alone.
