Good response James.You're right, Jason's agent is spinning his/her wheels.Jason, I know that people often hope that just this one time, popular belief could be wrong.Not gonna happen...

Just that it helps when people promoting things use facts that are correct.

Frankly, the buttons at the bottom are a valid way to promote your business.

This post is not meant as self-promotional so go with it....Hopefully you have checked out all that the BiggerPockets website has to offer beyond just the forums.

The listing agents I have dealt with are not the same personalities you deal with when they are trying to promote a property.

That is actually one of the arguments a realtor uses to promote their services to a client.

Since you are promoting property investment there, you must be familiar with the laws of the country.

Assume that in this forum you should introduce yourself but largely avoid any ads or other forms of promotion.

Obviously, in terms of the "Big Picture" there has been a crisis of secondary market confidence with regard to the enormous increase in borrower delinquencies and pending or actual forecclosures which has led to a major culling of the ranks of wholesale mortgage lenders... now probably close to 125 lenders who have closed up shop within the past 5-6 months.Actually, many of those lenders were little more than "Super Brokers" in that they relied upon warehouse credit lines or correspondent relationships with "Big Brother' lenders.It's somewhat analagous to our belief in the notion that a $100 bill is actually worth $100.

Good call REI,Obviously you shouldn't promote a guarantee you can not fulfill (or are against any laws).
