Persistence, trial and error, etc. as well.IMHO, “success” always involves a custom solution for each individual’s journey.

@Mark Fries That's a very good perspective In that case I would add persistence as well you're already on the right track

@Chris Munichiello, gotta stay persistent, there are a ton of deals out there to be had.

We require leases, rent rolls, and any agreements that will persist beyond closing (maintenance contracts and the like) before we purchase anything.Property management is KEY.

I would remind him of that and if he continues find his broker, contact the local mls, or CAR Attorney or Dept of RE He probably does not want to do the work if it is not an all cash offer be persistent
