Nathan Gesner Thanks for sharing, and nice hair cut.

While it was done for decades, only now do they split these hairs to crack down on the investor stratigies.

Every get rich quick hair brained scheme out there.When you become a commercial broker or investor one thing will be perfectly clear.TIME IS MONEYWhen working with investors I look at how out there the plan is.The more imaginative the plan the more things can go wrong and the more chances for failure.So when you only get paid when you close you look at probability and percentages like a hawk.I have many listings mainly in the Multifamily and Retail sectors.I do work with a small group of investors.Since most of my time is spent marketing my clients listings I only work with the most qualified investors.If you have money provided by proof of funds valid within the last 30 days AND you are realistic to the market then a broker might work with you.If you have NO to LITTLE money relative to what you want to buy and NO experience then you don't bring much value to the table.

I did a showing today to a section 8 prospect who wanted to make sure the closet was big enough for her shoe collection, she had 2 cell phones, a car, an expensive hair weave, fancy clothers and told me the 1200 sq ft home was not big enough for her and her daughter.

Jose,It must be that facial hair that gets the tenants in, because if I posted that I would get a bunch of calls that would waste my time.

My wife had a hair dresser there, that she loved.

They all rented.I pointed out that they ate out 2 nights a week, they bought lunches every day, their wives had lots of expensive clothes and had their hair and nails professionally done, they went out drinking in bars, and they owned at least two nice new cars.They never did get it.

I would not post his findings otherwise.I hear what you are saying about the approach, but again, you are just splitting hairs with the new senate bill.

With out a security deposit, we would not entertain improved repairs, only necessary ones.When we newely acquire a property we walked each unit with a hair dryer (checking electrical outlets), broom (unclog garbage disposals), and smoke dectors ( tell tenants not to take the batteries out).

The state has set aside quite  a bit of money to combat unlicensed activities not only by people acting as unlicensed brokers but all other categories including contractors, hair stylists, etc.
