now i'm not saying every broker or seller will ask you these questions, but i am saying that 85% of the professional commercial brokers or sellers will. they do this to separate the tire-kickers from the players is what they say.so for all the people on here that has experienced this when getting started, how were you able to either sidestep these questions or answer them in a creative way that made the broker or seller feel comfortable in going forward and disclosing certain info about the property.

Now that I am 10 yrs more experianced with REI and investing, I can say without a doubt, diverisification and your personal network are the key to not becoming a tired landlord or being put into a trial by fire to learn the ropes.Steer clear of people who want to invest your money, especially when you are just starting.

Included in the financing would be land - water sources - mobile homes - sheds - decks & a cash cow of rental income with very low expense ratio to income - a small all adult mobile home with never a vacancy, & most of the rental income comes from Uncle Sam.Also when selling something such as this - what is the best way to weed out the tire kickers?

So I'm tired of repeating myself I'll let the smart people make their own judgment calls on this so J Lamar good luck and have a nice day as far as me I'm going to do some of that stuff you know the actual real estate investing stuff.

Ok I've seen this advertise all over the REI community and frankly I'm tired of it.

Im tired of complaining as it's not doing any good.

Travis, I have actually tired a CraigsList (CL) ad that was entitled "I buy ugly houses" and got zero responses.

And who's to say your neighbor might not sneak over late at night and vindictively puncture a tenant's tire?

The fact remains that this agent, along with a ton of others, have no idea how to work with investors, have no idead how to properly work a short sale, act in an unprofessional and unethical manner (particularly this guy), and I have grown tired of it as many other experienced investors have.The fact that you are an agent, should not be a factor in your attempt to defend this guy.

I only bring this up b/c a wholesaler acquaintance of mine wondered why he couldn't get the "motivated sellers" to part w/ their property for his asking price, no matter how much he bargained w/ them ...I'm interested in getting feedback from others on this..Aren't you guys tired of the dumbed down approach to wholeslaing taken by gurus?
