Not sure you would want to do a lot of business with someone who routinely makes offers on "as is" properties at one price and is always planning to renegotiate to another price. 

Originally posted by @Curtis Mears: Ltr are fairly easy as you can rent for a year and only really need to stay up on general maintanence.This is a common belief....but the overlooked factor is that with a LTR, your tenants (even the good ones) will not pay attention to the routine maintenance.

Get over your "I don't want to be the bad guy" routine or you'll have a difficult time.

@Trent BargaLenders will routinely assess a borrower's DSCR before making a loan.

If they ask weird questions and you feel uncomfortable, it's okay to decline.I will say about 25 and unders - they are going to drink and party.

That assumption has been made explicit to me more often by black Pittsburghers than white Pittsburghers here, by the way.In our third year of operation, Homeland Security and the IRS subpoenaed us and we had a very uncomfortable conversation down at the federal courthouse.

Tiger Woods and other famous golfers not only have repetitive routines or wear their lucky charm to remind them of their vision, but use visualization to increase their belief in their capacity to win.

I routinely do this kind of early stage analysis and have created a pro forma to figure out if a deal works or not.

@Matthew KirkwoldPersonally I prefer to tell the truth.Sometimes there are are uncomfortable conflicts you have to deal with, and while it sucks, it’s just part of it

I feel like I need to meet people face to face to create business that way, but want to know what other think/suggest that I should be adding to my daily real estate routine?
