I misread your post when you initially called CF investors lazy, and I put words into your mouth. 

And here I am bad-mouthing Orleans Parish, lol. 

Also, you can do your own loan with my organization, and avoid the costs and also have access to the money and property deals.Investing in real estate (and I don't want to hear about the "lucky" ones over the past 5 years where a dog with a note in his mouth could make money by buying at $250k and then selling for $500k----this is luck and stupidity from buyer's in the market place not "slowing it down" and bidding too much----remember $800 gold stocks?

The key is having enough ads out where people who may be interested in selling will see them, getting the word of mouth advertising going, and (maybe as important) having a GOOD, ACTIVE REALTOR, who works hard to get listings in the price range of the houses you're looking to purchase.Good luck and you've come to a great site for info.frankall cash

I'm just as smart, driven, deal negotiating as they are and then I set out to put my money where my mouth is.Got to make it happen

If the first words out of your mouth are "Hi, I'm --- and I'm a Real Estate Agent, I'd like to buy your property" then you will instantly put them on the defensive!

I decided that word of mouth would keep people away and elected to pass on the deal.

I honestly wanted to just punch him in the mouth for acting like that.

I get almost all my deals these days through word of mouth/networking.

It seems like I built a client list of renters who want the type of properties that I am trying to obtain just through word of mouth.
