When they call me I have a pen and paper ready and scribble down key points from our conversation.After the conversation I have a list of points.Things they didn't understand (how it works)Doubts they had (why did they doubt I was real)What their concerns areWhat they likedKeywords they typed in finding my site.and a lot moreBased on this list I have an endless supply of topics to write to not only boost my SEO, but more importantly to boost my conversion.MOST (I really mean ALL) content providers do not give a POOP about your conversion.

@Shannon Morales I'm not asking about like kind properties, I'm asking about related parties. 

but the moral of the story is .. these guys prey on new investors with no experience trying to do deals that they can never do when they lack true capital and experience.. they are dream merchants.. 

I had a client back in the day I sold a big 1,200 acre trophy ranch to in northern CA.. ( which yes has had one of the fires go through it this summer).. anyway he was a big landlord in Alameda 160 doors.. and that in today market is probably 100 mil or more in real estate and it was all free and clear.. ( why I like free and clear )  and he paid cash for the ranch.BUT the moral of the story is he collected rent personally twice a month.. tenants were trained like Thomas trains his.. rent is to be in an envelope on pinned to the front door on one of those days.. no rent he then posted a 3 day notice.. so it was one or the other 3 day notice or collect the rent.. the front doors looked like pin cushions.  

@Cristian Aviles-Morales,December 1st and the location is off Sand Lake Rd near John Young Parkway.

The moral of the story is take a good look at which stage your current market is in, look for properties that can add value too, properties that can cashflow as rentals if they don't sell, and if possible buy properties with multiple incomes ie; multi-family, suites, garages that can rent, storage, etc., to minimize risk.

Also, what are some lessons you have learned that has really boosted the amount of deals you have closed on from when you first started, until now?

If you want to pretend to have morality, then go buy a high end property in the snooty portions of your area and leave the low income areas alone. 

They will look at your expenses- college tuition , insurance, food, car, gas, etc to see if you qualify for a mortgage.Also- one option is to get added to your paretns credit card if they have had it s along time with good credit- this will boost your score. 

I have created a Google Chrome extension that boosts your property browsing experience, by offering filtering abilities on displayed properties (if you don't know what a google chrome extension is, its an app that runs on your browser instead of on your smartphone).I have big plans for this mini app, and I need your help in validating I am in the correct direction.
