carrier and current plan. You can also
purchase a carrier-ready tablet and pay a
monthly fee for data, which is the simpler
but in many cases more expensive option.
But the question remains: Will max mobility help you make more money? Te short
answer is yes. For example, while viewing
a property to purchase, a client told me the
area "wasn't as nice" as others we had seen.
I argued that it was actually a nicer area —
only the block we were on wasn't as well kept.
To prove it, I hopped on STDB and demonstrated that not only did the surrounding
area have less crime than other locations
we had visited, but the median household
income was higher as well. With this new
information, my client took up my ofer to
drive the area a bit more and he was soon
convinced that the location ft his needs.
