@Brian Gibbons is my favorite expert on this technique. 

Maybe you used this technique starting out, maybe not.  

I have never done this technique and I have only known one guy who does this, so I cant even give you the total mechanics of the deal.

I also plan using wholesaling techniques to acquire more properties or sell the ones that do not fit as a good rental.Ive owned my own home for 15 years and have done major renovations by either myself or as a general contractor.

this is a belly to belly business.. unless you have 100's leads ... its not wise to do anything but make an appointment for a sit... then use your skills and sales techniques whether they are soft sell like Brian or hit you over the head the J Scott... but you would be amazed at the deals you make when they sounded rough on the phone and were completely different in person.I worked for 15 years shagging leads and doing in home presentations... its night and day from phone and in home.. and a really great sales men can turn someone around on a dime. 

So the presentation is about to start and I decide to write notes on his selling techniques( I was really into human behavior at the time especially after watching Lie To Me). so He's going on and on and I note how he's making the crowd comfortable and making them like him with his sense of humor and such (I later Found it's called "building rapport") and I also notice on how he plays on some of the older's crowds sense of regret of not working harder when they were younger to build a better life.

Has anyone used the technique of "leveraged buy-out" for their commercial real estate acquisitions?

There really are no laws regarding direct mailing or door to door soliciting and Realtors use these techniques frequently.  

Looking for general opinions on closure rate if all these techniques are available:Cash purchase (wholesale less desirable option if necessary)Lease optionSub 2owner financeJVListYou get the idea, bored on a Sunday morning and looking to converse.  

@J Scott Sorry the valuation techniques are the same.
