Sadly, women Realtors are so exposed to this.Highly recommendnever show aloneget the prospects Name, Cell, and Email and refuse to show w/oTell an office mate of where, when and whom you are meeting withUpon arriving onsite and in the presence of the prospect, Call your own office voice mail and speak so as to be over heard, "Yeah, I with xxx at yyy and expect to be done by  HH:MM, C U then".

My wife of 46 years stuck with me during those very lows in this business and worked to help pay those owner financed deals, the balloon payments, the interest rates that reached over 20% in years past, surviving without computers, pagers, cell phone and the internet.

Written from a cell phone please excuse any mistakes. :)

This is crazy to me considering if you bought almost any resale property in 2011 you would be cashing in fat checks right now or even if you sold a few years ago in 2014.

Car insurance and cell phone bills don't count.

I can be reached on my cell at any time because we handle emergencies plumbing, electrical etc.

After all, I enjoy getting checks monthly - but it would nice to cash in a fat check once in while too.Question 2 - Networking is key to finding good deals - MLS can have some good deals periodically - but the best deals are going to come from a distressed situation that you find out about through word of mouth - and that means staying in front of your network and growing it so that you are exposed to new situations and opportunities.

I am always amazed though that when tenants are behind, they always seem to keep their cell phones on and cigarettes in their pocket

Or perhaps I simply run my life through a company that isn't actually in business - things like insurance, cell phone, cars, utilities, you name it.
