I knew I wasn't the only one who goes through this. I usually I don't call them back either. I'm just wondering what can I do or say to avoid these question. I don't think it has anything to do with real estate. Why people ask these questions? I wouldn't dare ask these question the first time I meet someone.

I guess this only happens to me, well i find a way to deal with it. :cry:

Hi, Im just curious if anyone that is young or look young has had an investor/seller/buyer or anyone one you met doing business has ever asked you how old are you? I get that all the time and feel uncomfortable. Its a saying that never ask a woman her age but this should go for both sexes. It discourage me alittle and feel that the person is not going take me serious because of my age or how young I look or even try to play me thinking Im young and stupid! Trust me most of the time they don't take me serious. I didnt know you had to be a certain age to get respect. I thought its what you do and how you do it.

Another thing how about where you live which is something they also ask me. When I do tell them they give me a look like im a hood rat or poor. I live in a what people might say a low income family neighborhood. That shouldnt dictate who I am.

I guess its something that people live with everyday. Anyone deals with this type of stuff and can tell me how to deal with it?

Yea, i have logged in the chat room a few times and no one was there. It would be nice to chat live with people. It has a schedule day for certain topics but none ever there. Well, if people start loggin in please let me know so I can be there.

Thanks

I just posted a topic on the Real Estate Agents forum asking about good Real Estate companies with good references. I was replied that wholesaling in NYC may not be realistic. Does or has anyone done wholesaling in NYC? Is it realistic?

From my experience if any state in this country experience people losing their homes or need of getting rid of their homes its NYC. I known many people who had to sell their homes or have lost it to foreclosure. It always on the news. Well I believe wholesaling in NYC is possible.

How does anyone feel about this?

I'm looking for a company that understands the wholesale thing, a lot of them don't think its legal, who can help me with MLS lists, title, etc. A company I can have a personal relationship with if I need help with any wholesale situation. I was told that you should have a real estate agent for emergencies even if you don't plan to use them in your wholesaling deals.

Looking for a good real estate company in NYC. Anyone works with any personal with good references?

Im having trouble building up my buyers list. I have read to look for "We Buy Homes" signs in my neighborhood or city, but I haven't found any. And when I do I call the number and they don't want to deal with the middle man or in my case woman :mrgreen: Am I doing something wrong or saying something wrong? Also I have been finding a lot of FSBO in craigslist, is this o.k? I shouldn't have any problems to find them in NYC, theres always someone moving in out or around. But do anyone have other way to look for them?

Another thing. I read to get a MLS from an real estate agent. Does it have to be someone you do personal business with or can you go in any company and ask for the list? If so how much will it cost and any question would they ask that I would have to answer?

Thank you so much...I was leaning towards an attorney/lawyer anyway....things like that I don't want happening to me so it only makes sense

Im searching the web as for now to find some FSBO properties. And all this contract talk had me thinking about the contract itself. Where to get from, do you make it yourself, if yes how do you know its good enough? Can anyone let me know where they got theres from? I read you should have two separate contracts one for the seller and one for the buyer. As far as the title companies where can I find them? Should i research some appraisers or trust the sellers appraiser?
Also if anyone can attach a contract to see how it looks and what it contains that would be nice. Should I get a RE attorney involved, if yes anyone know how good ones in NYC?
