    Peeps that manage properties, would it be a good idea to finish university and get this degree

    HOT! IDEA 
    Real Estate Broker here. I'm probably saying something that has already been said but I can be the next to validate the same opinion. You won't learn anything at a college that you can't just read in a $30 book on real estate investing or just buying the textbook and reading it. These business...

    Dan Kennedy RIP

    MARKETING 
    Thanks for sharing. I guess there were false reports out there. Either way, he is on his last leg of the race. I wanted to hear stories about his impact on fellow Fastlaners.

    "inflation" is an iron curtain.

    INVESTING RANT 
    There are so many "hidden costs" in the form of taxes within the supply chain that the consumer has no clue about. If consumers knew how much more they have to pay for goods, such as groceries or alcohol because of the taxes along the way to the store shelf, they would riot in D.C. Because they...

    Dan Kennedy RIP

    MARKETING 
    Dan Kennedy passed away last week writing his final newsletter from his death bed (true to form). I was curious if anyone else on here was influenced by some of the stuff he taught in direct mail, direct response marketing, info marketing, copywriting, and running a business???

    Rule One Investing - Opportunities In Coming Recession

    INVESTING 
    Exactly. It’s building wealth. Not getting rich. You have to run a business to get rich (I.e. selling/brokering/servicing stocks) and invest (I.e. investing in companies) to get wealthy.

    I CAN't get feedback from my audience

    These are two different business opportunities. Pick one and go with it. Either create an MLS database that is reliable and easy to use for both agent and consumer, or become a real estate coach. Sounds like you would rather be a real estate coach. What you're describing about educating the...

    Rule One Investing - Opportunities In Coming Recession

    INVESTING 
    Buy real estate instead of stocks. Stocks are rigged markets, zero-sum games, taxed as earned income, too liquid, are not multi-dimensional in how you make money (you only make money if the underlying moves in a direction, up or down) and lack control of the underlying asset. Real estate...

    I CAN't get feedback from my audience

    HOT! 
    So, like Zillow for another country? Do you have a multiple listing service in which you could obtain data feeds? I would copy the Zillow model. If you don't have a multiple listing service then I would create one. There should be an MLS wherever there are agents because that's how they share...

    2020 upcoming crisis - what to do?

    INVESTING 
    Did you notice the buzz around General Electric's possible accounting scandal? I always remember the wise Dr. Michael Burry saying (I'm paraphrasing), "one of the key indicators of an oncoming market crash is the significant increase in fraudulent activity in the financial sector"

    Buying a home or renting apartment

    HOT! REAL ESTATE 
    In the US, the bank doesn’t hold title over the property. They only have a 1st lien position on the property. Meaning, they have the first right to take back the property if there is a default. Your home will have a perpetual lien on it until the end of time because of property taxes. If you...

    SIDE HUSTLE WEB DESIGN

    This is what happened after I knocked 75 doors. (Real Estate)

    FTE 
    Yes I think the platform has both. I don't use the platform but I'm starting to use the marketing system. I use ActiveCampaign for email and LeadPages for landing pages. I like to be able to control everything I use and they are SaaS systems that I could grow into.

    This is what happened after I knocked 75 doors. (Real Estate)

    FTE 
    Here's what I would do every time you do an open house or get a listing. Door knock at least 10 houses surrounding the listing. Let them know you are doing the open house and they are welcome to stop by and check it out (if you have cookies, beer, wine then they might be more likely). Ask them...

    The 10x Rule by Grant Cardone - Crazy or Brilliant?

    BOOKS 
    I like Grant. I love the 10X Rule. I read at least 2x/year. He's a motivational speaker. He gets me motivated when I listened to him. Does his message have answers to my long-term problems? No. Does his high-level energy seep through my iphone into my ears and get me juiced for the day? Yes! Is...
