Ryan replied to Ronald D Bourgeois's discussion The $30.00 BPO
"The reason $30- $40 BPO's exist is because dumba** agents accept them and do the work.
If no agent did a BPO's for less than $150 then that is what the going rate would be.

Ryan replied to Douglas Mueller's discussion WHY DO WE EVEN DO BPOs ANYWAY?
"I tell our agents this:
You do 2 a day 5 days a week. That is 10 a week and each one, with drive time takes about 1 hour.
So you have 10 hours a week in BPO's to make $500 ($50 per BPO)

If you invest 10 hours a week into your real estate business…"
