Take that out of your mouth!”

Getting into a bad deal with a poor sponsor will leave a bad taste in your mouth for a long time.

Put money where your mouth is if you don't its just talk.

I feel like when I network, there are always a bunch of people there who put on this big fake smile with their business card out stretched who “yes” you to death and agree with every word that comes out of your mouth because they want you to like them.  

You don't want your first deal to leave a bad taste in your mouth. 

That way he see's you're serious, which he might be doubting, plus you get to keep your $20K seller concession.Put your money where your mouth is - it can be a key indicator that you are serious on closing the deal and not just another "offer mill" candidate.TTFN,Greg

Don’t shoot yourself in the foot by limiting your amount down up front by opening your mouth too soon and inserting your foot in it.

Others you will find by opening your mouth and telling others about how you "helped a friend invest their IRA in RE" which leads to the person you are speaking with to ask the question you want them to ask YOU - how did you do that?
