I\\u2019ve been getting a lot of questions lately about my tools, my systems, and my CRM because my students want to know if they can keep it simple, or if they need to track their leads like me. A lot of people are thinking, \\u201cI want to do deals, but all of this technology stuff is just overwhelming.\\u201d\\n I\\u2019ve got the 1980 edition of Robert Allen\\u2019s book Nothing Down, which is over forty years old, and 98% of the stuff in this book is still relevant today. Because while there\\u2019s been a lot of changes in the technology side of real estate, the principles are still the same.\\n I embrace change. I love it! But you don\\u2019t need all of this advanced technology stuff to get started. When I first started in real estate, I was tired of being on the computer all day at work, so I developed the \\u201cmanila folder\\u201d system.\\n Hot leads, cold leads, warm leads, these all got different follow ups, and I share how I tracked them, and why I did it this way.\\n Some of you are technophobes. And some of you want the latest and greatest. It doesn\\u2019t matter if you\\u2019re an expert at Podio. The only way you\\u2019re going to make money in this business is making offers and talking to sellers.\\n If you show me an expert in Podio, I\\u2019ll show you a broke wholesaler. Because how do you make money in this business?\\n Make offers, make offers, make offers.\\n It wasn\\u2019t until I\\u2019d been wholesaling for 3 years that I moved over to the fancy technology. If you\\u2019re stuck with technology, use the manila file system. But whatever you choose, don\\u2019t get distracted or sidelined by CRMs or apps or whatever it is that someone\\u2019s selling.\\n Get on the phone and make those offers.\\n What\\u2019s Inside:\\n \\u2014I share my original, old school paper tracking method.\\n \\u2014If you\\u2019re overwhelmed, use my manila folder system to help you out.\\n \\u2014This one thing is the key to your business, no matter what tracking method you use.\\n \\u2014Why a 1980 edition of a real estate book is still relevant today.
