I have had wholesalers call me on my personal residence and tell me it comps at 650k.. when in fact its worth closer to 1.4 mil all day..

I spent a decade in advertising, before founding and running a custom wood shop for another decade, so 'm pretty good at the self-promotion.I agree with you that the more gorilla approach would be most effective and that's actually what i've been doing – calling RE agents in my service area with active listings, introducing myself to property managers and leasing agents...To answer your question, I will have to handle the work myself for 6-12 months to build out the SOPs and field service management systems, but I have a lot of relationships for those looking to "do the work".I'll check out the meet up and would love to grab a cup of coffee, I'll shoot you an email.

Ideally they did not pay over retail because if they did they could easily lose the money they put into the property if the loan gets called.  

I guess to get a definite answer I'll have to cold call to get see if all these people are behind on their payment or it's just a standard practice behind some salesmen!

I don't want to be fielding phone calls all day, everyday like last time around.

You could always get lucky and the bank may never call in your loan.

I've been called to the carpet now on a DOS clause and its not as scary as people make it out to be.  

Give me a call when you have a few minutes and I'd be happy to provide them to you.

I would confirm this with someone a little more well versed in NYC or give them a call to see if they can answer your questions.

It certainly helps that you've done it, but I would maybe do one that is still in CA, but far so you can't go every day and see how that is and then inch out.On finding an agent, definitely not the way to go in terms of calling brokerages and asking for their top producing agent.
