Dear Newbie Investor,

I am no longer available to work with you. I’m sorry, it’s not you…it’s me.

You know what? No.

It’s you, it is you.

I am no longer willing to spend countless hours teaching you the ropes, (I know I said I didn’t mind but now I do) searching for great properties, in great neighborhoods, in great school districts because you don’t know your market. I am no longer willing to put together elaborate analyses to explain to you tax rates, price/sq. ft. and what the property will likely sell/rent for.

Because even though I do all that for you and then open countless doors for you to view these properties YOU newbie investor still can’t make a decision.

My time and efforts are rewarded by you then cuddling up to a wholesaler/turnkey or better yet, you decide you can only purchase that great home that is move in ready, at $.30 on the dollar because you saw it on a infomercial and they said it can be done.

Or it’s a $25,000 property and you want put $1000 into the rehab (because you saw that on an infomercial and paid for the limited edition manual which came with the free $499 solar powered calculator) and then want me to tell you that it will sell for $95,000. I’m not telling you that.

So, I’m sorry…but I will no longer take time away from my serious investors to help you become a serious waster of my time. Stop calling up helpful agents such a myself our rather my used to be self with your hard money loan talking about you got cash…no you don’t, what you have is a situation.

Get back on your computer and Google REIT….please.

Stop googling “investor friendly agents” because you Newbie Investor…make us the opposite of that.

You make us un-friendly, frustrated and prone to writing comedy to post on our beloved BP.

Signed,

“Ex Agent of the Newbie Investor”

David, why? Because she's trying to eliminate the clueless time wasters, so she can spend her time with real investors? Don't you do the same with supposed buyers and sellers? One of the biggest mistakes I made was handing out cards at one of the guru type seminars, even after I avoided the obvious clueless people. I don't have the time to educate people who aren't willing to at least try and learn something on their own.
