It may have just been my luck of the draw, which is what prompted my question.

What prompted me to start this question is a local investor here in Indianapolis, IN sold some houses to an out of state group of investors, they were brought to town by a GURU and the deals pale by comparison to what I have to offer.So, instead of re-creating the wheel, I thought that if someone here in Bigger Pockets, the most "vetted" investor web site available, had a good experience, then it could be a good fit.

Being in person usually prompts a more immediate response.

This might make the tax guys look at a high interest rate as unreasonable although in our current market condition 20% is not unreasonable at all for an unsecured loan.That's what prompted me to ask the question in the first place.

The house had an offer in 10 days and closed promptly in 3 months.

The seller’s broker promptly called to thank me, as if I was his good friend, and changed his offering brochure and price.

Jobs asked audience members to turn off their Wi-Fi and even fished for suggestions, prompting one smart aleck to shout out, "Verizon!"

Finally, the agent should be very prompt, efficient and effective in correspondence, returning calls, preparing counters, updating the listings, following up with the buyer's lender, appraiser, etc.If you can do all of this, you should have no problem at all making a high six-figure income with just a few really strong investors as your clients.

Have you heard?! Bill H.R. 6133 has been introduced to congress to force servicers/lenders to move quickly to approve short sales in 45 days! Finally, a true push to move this housing market forward!

Prompt Decision...
