How important is a car to a realtor / investor, being judged

right now I drive an old car. 1999, It was my first beater .

Right now I'm saving to get enough money to put into my business / save enough to get a hard money lender and do a deal....

Even though people say they don't judge , I'm curious how much of an effect a car has on a listing appointment . 

I have student payments coming in soon and then this payment Will add on

If you have a job, an approval letter, cash, good credit, or any combination of the four, who cares what kind of car you drive?

The type of car you drive doesn't close deals. To be honest, having a nice car might make you look like the slick infomercial type investor and a seller may hold that against you.

If I was selling a property and you had a potato sack full of cash I wouldn't care if you rode in on the back of a monkey.

Good luck
