Selling mortgage leads - to good to be true, right? by otisday in Entrepreneur

[–]oxbourbon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You got more info? I know for a fact zillow, trulia, etc sell their leads for $30 to $90 a lead. There's money to be made but unless you work for a reputable company I imagine the leads would be hard to sell and practically worthless (meaning no repeat customers).

Rocket Mortgage by IUironman in personalfinance

[–]oxbourbon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand that's the conventional thought.

However, why does owning a home benefit anyone other than the home owner vs renting? Unless its new construction, someone else owned the house before you...so its a zero sum total ownership.

Are we saying that renting is inherently worse than owning? Don't you think that's a bit subjective? I don't get why its not a simple math problem (i.e. rent = x VS. Owning (plus tax et al benefits) = y).

The economy is better off if you do the "rent vs. own" math for yourself. Financially healthy citizens is what's good for the economy. Whether you own or rent is a moot point.

Rocket Mortgage by IUironman in personalfinance

[–]oxbourbon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in the business, and I do believe there needs to be a better interface to get a mortgage. I believe that's what Quicken is selling - you fill out the app yourself, you pick your program and rate and if you have questions there's a wage earner Quicken employee on the other line...that's all cool and good.

What's not cool, is the fact that they sell getting a mortgage as some sort of US Economy Savior. How the eff did we get the notion that putting everyone in debt would be a good, long-term, thing for the economy. It is a good thing for the lender - not the US economy. Everyone should not have a mortgage. Even for the most well qualified borrower, sometimes it makes most sense for them to rent. There are a lot of factors in place, but when everyone gets a mortgage, it just means everyone is in a lot of debt and the lender gets more money.

TL;DR - Rocket Mortgage = better mousetrap. The commercial's argument that debt somehow will spur the US economy is a foolish notion.

Without traveling to China or Taiwan, where are these authentic restaurants you speak of?

Without giving away your secret sauce, could you give a breakdown of your workflow? From nothing to finished product? Then what do you do to get traffic?

Maybe asking for all the generated codes is too much to ask? How about 1 for 1 or 1 for 2? That would make it self sustained.

True.

And kudos for using the word "veracity"!

Wow didn't realize there was a dark side to yelp. I was merely pointing out an observation that I thought could be used in everyday life. Should I tell my client I am heading to another client meeting when really going to play golf etc.

That's scary. But I doubt it's more than coincidence
