It was like an instant boost to her confidence on a call she was really nervous to make. 

Full Title: Ten things I learned from The Real Estate Guys at How to Win Funds and Influence People. 

If I thought that way seven months ago, how does that influence the next seven months.Many forum posts are many months old, and only a few gets updated, but most are just forgotten unless there is an update on a old post. 

Oakland has quite a heft city transfer tax for example compared to other states in CA) you really just need to know how those changes may or may not influence your investment.

I think that you're influencing the people around you.I dont think that so many people are now investing in real estate and becoming landlords.

In my opinion, a pro should never influence your offer unless their experience tells them you will lose out on the deal.

It comes down to debits and credits for the most part but there is also the logistical and sometimes conflicting component of investor requirements and 3rd party requirements (MI company, junior lien holder, senior lien holder, GSE, etc.) that at the least, influence the transaction or, can control the transaction beyond the seller's or lender's objectives outright.

I have read a couple of articles that bemoan that homeowners in expensive locales will suffer, however little to no impact to less pricey areas and a net probable boost to landlords.Live in flips will certainly be less profitable if the capital gains exemption increase from two to five years! 

@Tyler Crawfod - how many people in your circle of influence know what you’re trying to do?

Y’all have given me the boost I needed to at least look into my other options and see what we can make happen!
