Also regarding offers no body said you have to buy the property after you have submitted So do not put too much emotions when making an offer .

Have to weight the relative importance, just like in many other business decisions.

Hi, we have a 100 year old cottage on Webster Lake in Franklin New Hampshire under contract and need someone to look at the property with us to ensure its safety, viability and to do some work to it.Please let me know if you there is any body out there!

I personally am not getting into real estate to work with my body, rather with my brain. 

I've also never taken out a car loan, student loan (lent the gov't my body for 8 years instead, GI Bill is of course interest on that loan), engagement ring loan, etc.

Any tips on how to approach people, especially seasoned Investors. what questions I should be asking, even help on body language etc.

Find the office that has plenty of donuts and coffee and lots of people hanging around bs'ing about last night's game, or how their one-and-only contract fell out and are ready to pounce on any breathing body that comes through the door.
