Just ask anyone that's had to help with evictions on a few crack houses; Or having to visit a property once a week and make maintenance and utility payments for 4 months before ever listing the property.When you make your offer directly to the bank or asset manager, that offer is sent back to the listing agent; in some cases (very few), this act can cause the agent to be looked upon in a poor light.

A direct request where you ask the person to act (to call, visit a website, etc).You could have more than one card if you wanted to segment your target market and then use specific cards for specific purposes.At some level do not ask the card to do more than it can do.

Visit a few FSBOs and you'll find that more often than not, they're priced higher than the agent listed homes in the same neighborhood - believe me I know.

Also consider the travel distance if you expect to attend meetings on a regular basis.I would be a bit liberal and visit a number of groups to see which ones you like.

I did visit a CPA but I misplaced my notes from that meeting (that's why I was posting here).

Be careful with "exclusively" working with an agent; if the agent turns out to be worthless, you will still have to compensate that agent for that "exclusive" relationship you formed.Offer to be exclusive with that agent for any property that you visit as a result of the agent making a connection to the seller / seller's agent.

Thankfully our PC is basically concierge taking cash per visit as did the last specialist we had to consult with.My NY State BIL is a self employed consultant & he has been going through a nightmare with significantly inflated premiums through the group he is involved with.

Never visit a house before speaking with the seller over the phone.

as my host and have custom-designed all 4 of my sites.Personally, when I visit a broker's site I want something clean and easy to navigate; no noisy or visual bells and whistles, please.

If you have the time, I'd suggest planning to visit a couple of your top markets (after doing quite a lot of research, of course).
