Jon, I understand about all the details of a deal and it can be a bit overwhelming. I use a checklist to help shepherd the deal along. Not sure if it would be helpful to you, but I could email the checklist to you. Just let me know.

He must be a great guy, :)

I noticed you are in Colorado, from what I have heard that is a hot market right now?

Hi all, curious to know what your biggest challenge or frustration is right now with real estate or your business?

My recent frustration was that one of my equity sources pulled out at the last minute and I had to terminate my contract on a 98 unit apartment complex.

There are so many deals out there, so going back to the fishing pond...

I agree with the posts and I am a firm believer in education. I go to seminars for a variety reasons such as keeping up to date in current market trends and also to network. You never know who you will meet at the event.

I have been disappointed at some events where it is all sales and no real "meat". My approach is try to take at least one nugget of information from the event and apply to my business.

Curious to know from others:

What makes you sign up for an event?
Did you feel the Guru added value to your business?
What would you do differently?
