I realize people are trying to make a living, but anyone who cold calls me is the last person I'd use for any transaction (plus I have people for that!).  

Real estate has so many tax benefits and credits available, that I always tell people it's crucial to have a CPA that's extremely knowledgeable in this area.

I recently listened to their interview with The Real Estate Guys Radio Show and it's great to have a forum like here where we can hear from people's own experiences.

I think the main thing people would point to as a red flag for Ocala is that it is not a large employment center like Orlando, Tampa, and Jacksonville and as a result may be more exposed to a pull back in values when there is a downturn. 

I am not going to deep dive here.I usually lose these sorts of deals to people willing to underwrite more aggressively. 

I’m hearing mixed opinions from people I know. 

Attend local real estate investor (REI) meetings and get to know people.

So it probably makes sense to send targeted letters to people who you're most interested in connecting with.Solid advice, thank you.

This simple act of understanding can make or break the deal.Patience Pays: Results-driven but people-focused.

This is a great place to learn and to connect with people so take advantage of all the great resources.
