A ton of information and pretty entertaining. :) I'm originally from San Antonio but live in L.A. now and looking to buy and hold in San Antonio.

This forum is not a place to discuss business its purely entertainment and I hate to say it Bigger Pockets is a place for people to get scammed.   

Joshua Dorkin and Brandon Turner have been educational and entertaining to say the least.

The listing agent is right in not entertaining your offer, as he'd simply be tying up the owner's property for60-90 days, preventing him from selling it to a real buyer, getting that much closer to an auction.  

They are both informative and entertaining. 

I respect that any comments, replies, or suggestions are for entertainment purposes only and not considered legally binding. 

Debating this in the abstract on a message board is entertaining, but not very fruitful past most of what has already been hashed out hundreds of times on BP.Regarding the post above about active control producing above average returns I would challenge how the studies accounted for the time requirements active participation carries with it.  

Of course, that's the last thing you want to do and if they give you a hard time about deposit, you could hire an attorney to review the P&S and see if there is an escape route you could entertain.  

Its the same as those that go to VEgas and call losing money gambling  as but hey " its entertainment" never got that one either. 

Sent out my first mailing to 100 people just to see the response. So far I am "unethical", "dishonest" and a "slumlord". What are some things you've been called just for sending a letter??I can't understand why people...
