By the time I got to the closing table, instead of me bringing a check, they gave me a check.Fast forward to today, it has more than doubled from appreciation and cash flows a ton, and I was able to get a great property manager in there to handle EVERYTHING.

He gets his referral fee up-front, regardless of whether they bring any options to the table.   

He would need to find a place to live,which would take money off the table for collateral in his next deal.

Part of that reassurance comes from bringing some experience to the table and a proven track record of investing successfully.

During my Longmont deal, I realized how important it was to have someone who not only brought resources to the table but also shared the workload and decision-making.

Often times investors will plan seller financing strategies before asking the owner if its even on the table. 

In my humble opinion, if you want low, competitive rates, fast closings and great service, work with a broker.I'm also an investor and have been on the other side of the table. 

Then go for a rug that mixes those colors together well (you also really need a coffee table to fill the space and something vertical like a floor lamp to help balance out the different window sizes.)

I am wondering what it takes to deliver a higher customer experience, equivalent to receiving a warm wash towel at a restaurant table before you eat. 

So best next action is to start removing things off the table, take away options, start eliminating things.
