 Shooting you a email now!

If any one is in North East Ohio, I would love if you could message me. I would love to network. This isn't for selling a house on BP, just tryin' to network:)

Thanks Mary, I had this question... and was just unsure. It def sounds morally and ethically wrong! With everything you said, it would only make sense IF you were in BEFORE the agent was ya know?

 Right, like what I mentioned above. is a 30k deal worth missing out on 10 deals in the next year, and possibly missing 50k or more even? etc. 

 Right, right. If you do manage to even say- hey $30,000 out of it for some reason. With a ruined reputation, that may mean you're going to miss out on 10 deals for the entire year, which may $50k give or take of course. Right, my parter is a real estate attorney (also my father), and one thing we've all learned from being around him is -DON'T BREACH A CONTRACT FOR YOUR OWN SAKE! haha   Thanks for commenting man I really appreciate it!

 Right, I sincerely appreciate you chiming in. I always like to hear from someone else good or bad. Hey the agents might want to cut us out! hahaha

As a real estate investor we all know we want one thing, direct link to the goal of money. I don't like to chew on the fat or beat around the bush, so ...

Do you think it is wrong when; There is a house for sale listed with a agent/(broker etc..) and you go up knock on that individuals' door, and one way or another tell them ( and this can be in any number of ways, such as - Dont bother listing it with them/ Take it off the listing/ Save your 3-6% with me etc) and pretty much under cut the agent/broker and deal directly with the owner?

I would LOVE to hear everyone's opinions on this, We all know what were going to hear like

That's wrong-

Hey gotta get the deal the done

Deal is a Deal

I want to hear why you think it is wrong, does't have to be long or anything but can't put a number one reasoning

This question is in a few different sections, but no argument is without a other side- and please be mannerly, respectful and refined as we are all adults and professions working in the same realm. 

I'm going to go into my own research aside from this, well actually right after this gets posted! I saw a strategy that is to buy a AB list, yellow letter them, and get phone capture software. 

I can obviously handle the others, does anyone know anything about buying a ab list?

 That is a good idea, I mean, no one can buy ALL the real estate at once. It sounds like from what you say, it can be a better investment to let them know and build relationships than to keep it to your self. I really like both sides of the point though.

I just got a call from another wholesaler,  he was wondering what zip codes I mainly deal with. I told him, to forward the questions to my email so I can respond when I have some time. 

Would you keep your areas you deal with to your self and not other competition ?

My first thought would be no, I don't want you to know where I am making my money and deals at. 

What is your opinion ?
