I will want to know why they are the top mentioned people, so I will have to check it out for myself. @John Oiticeoitice needs to get comeuppance on this list.  Is there an academy award?  Forget it...he wouldn't take one. @John Oitice knows I am out of place; here in New York and after reading some of my posts  he has spent a tremendous amount of time to help me develope professionally.  He has talked to me about his own personal experiences with regards to investing , he has told me in length factors that I need to take into consideration and has spoken to me about my goals. @John Oitice blows me away. He's a young man, with a young family, but he takes every one of my phone calls and texts. @ johnoitice is extremely bright, clear sighted , wise and incredibly caring. My partner and I traveled for miles over this past Holiday weekend to look at properties and John met up with us and walked us through each property. He drove far and he could have been home with his family. Man gives the award. God gives the reward. Lets consider adding people like John to this list!!

Cheers,

Go back and read my original post. I never said one word with regards to disliking or hating Realtors. Not once,  If you knew how to read and comprehend at the same time, you would see that it was I that got beat up, simply because the people on this site do not like wholesalers, which by the way, I didn't defend. 

However, instead of reading and comprehending my original post at the same time, you acted with your emotions and because you don't have any emotional intelligence...You jumped the gun. Because, you think you are a big shot and could not come up with anything else, you took that much needed shot about my college major... "Yea...I got her now!!"...I'm cryin! 

 Look, as long as you are happy, that's all that matters to me. I don't care about anything else. In addition; I won't be responding to any more unfledged posts, like yours, with regards to this topic. 

Cheers,

Karen

This was a catastrophic success. I learned a lot and also lost a huge amount of time having fun.

Can we please forget about the evil in this world and can someone tell me how to find real comps without using the MLS??????

John HornerKevin Delaney - Here is my answer....Each of my cash buyers( I'm going to refer to them as Investors, because I don't think that you guys like the cash buyers thing, though all of mine are 100% cash.) are attracted to different properties. 

I don't know if you have heard about the "distressed, blighted, zombie" properties on Long Island or not....I have found, on my own, over 50 of these properties by driving around on my own and because I was once a very good Republian Girlfriend..to, well.....a very good Republican ex Boyfriend.... whom Is still a close friend..... I have a rough total of 125.....They are all different and occupy every single town on Long Island. Many of them are in the most gorgeous areas I've ever seen and are on huge pieces of beautiful land, in blue ribbon school districts and no sex offenders. I'm getting to the answer...just hang in there....

 I have tons of investors....they are like ants; they are everywhere. I have assigned many of the properties to my Investors. Other investors have zero interest in them because 85% of  the properties would require digging up Mel Blanc and having him blow them up with dynamite (total tear downs,) B. They have zero interest in building a 3/2 on 12 acres of gorgeous land.

 I have many many many  investors that have 100% zero interest...I'm dead pan serious... they wouldn't pick up the phone, on their own,  at any point, in their entire lifetime, to call a realtor, seeking the property which requires their exact specs, formula...whatever you want to call it... This town, this block, these windows, this type of Church Bell, and have 300 bedrooms...I don't know, but I think you get my point. They text me. 

THIS is where I come in as a wholesaler. While my Investor Tom, his wife, 2.3 kids (I never understood what that meant,) his Boat Manager, and Chef are on their private Yacht on their way to Bermuda... They text me what it is they are looking for..... and say....GO FETCH. There is absolutely nothing baleful or corrupt going on in my mind when I approach a realtor. I am not asking for special treatment, I am not asking for them to "mark up the MLS deal", which honestly; I never heard of before until today, when John mentioned it. I am simply asking the realtor to fill the needs of one of my investors and Oh...guess what?? If she or he has what the investor is looking for...I get to feed myself, and buy Laundry Detergent too!!!!

No peccadillo, but I have many investors that just don't like realtors. They like wholesalers a whole banana bunch better. I take at least 50 to 60 pics of the house inside and out, I find out about rehab, updates, taxes, the electrical system, are there tenants, floors, garages, central air, did anyone die in the house.....(yes, I was once asked.)...Blah, Blah, Blah...put it on a postlet, text them the link and get an answer....

 To be quite dispassionate, one should consider the fact that I have roughly 40 to 55 houses, sitting there, with families of Raccoons  living in them rent free, and are BBQing wabbits in their backyards. 

I really really hope this bring some clarity to you guys because I gotta go. One of the Raccoons has invited me over for dinner.

Cheers,

Karen
