Hey Everyone, so I have spoken to quite a few people in the group in messaging. I have found there is a lot of people in the Los Angeles area looking to connect. I would take this opportunity to say that you are in that area right HERE and whoever is brave enough to post, will start the feed. I think this a great opportunity to network without evening having to leave your home. I think collaboration is key and you can get a whole lot more accomplished as a team versus alone. You can all come together on our coffee hour HERE in the community on Saturday morning for free or share each others contact information and use a chat app like what’s up or something and connect. Don’t lose this opportunity. The only thing I advise is if you do decide to work together, establish your roles and get it in a contract of some sort. At the bare minimum at least you can share resources or create a support group. Hope you Southern California members see this. Good luck and cheers to your future success. 🍻

(RISMedia) Key Benefits & Value Here’s what you get by subscribing; what makes PropStream valuable: 1. Access to Huge Data Pool 2. Targeted Lead Generation 3. Off-Market Opportunities 4. Marketing & Outreach Tools Integrated 5. Efficiency / Automation 6. Decision Support 7. Training and Support Limitations & Things to Watch Out For To be fair, it’s not perfect. Depending on your use-case, some of these might matter more than others. - CostThe subscription isn’t cheap, especially for higher-tiers or when you want large numbers of “saves/exports” or skip tracing. If you’re only doing a few deals per year, the cost may outweigh the extra deals you get. (PropStream) - Data Accuracy Varies by MarketPublic records / MLS data can lag or be incomplete, especially in regions/counties with less digitization. Contact info may be outdated. So there’s always some risk / validation work. (Real Estate Skills) - Learning CurveBecause it has lots of features and filters, setting it up effectively can take time. If you don’t put in the effort, you may not get full value. (Leni) - Cost of Marketing / Outreach Still RealEven with skip tracing, postcards, etc., you’ll still invest time and money to follow up leads. PropStream gives the tools, but converting leads is another step. - Competition / SaturationOther investors may also use the same data sources. So just having data doesn’t guarantee deals. How you act on that data matters. - Some plans include free skip tracing; some require add-ons. (PropStream) - Free trial (7 days) with some free leads (~50). (PropStream)
