QUOTES
“You got to make sure you’re doing it the right way to the right people. We’re not here to give you legal advice. Just read the terms and conditions on these websites and make sure that you’re not being sneaky.” Joe
“Investors tend to push the envelope with a lot of things anyway.” Cory
“We want to be able to determine the data where people are searching. That’s more the value to me. I want to build a big list of where real estate investors are searching.” Cory
“People get stressed out and worried about this, but it shouldn’t take you longer than a couple of minutes to come up with a simple ARV, especially when you’re making your first initial offer, just to see if it works or not.” Joe
