It's not the degree that's (necessarily) the benefit, but the doors and telephones that the degree will open up.- Regarding "specialized degrees."

If they're the listing agent, it is likely that they have provided valuable information to the owner, learned the layout of the owners property, informed the owner of their responsibilities under the law, listed their home in the mls for every member to see, show and possibly sell, advertised their home in print and online, fielded telephone calls related to their home, conducted showings of their home and maybe even held an open house or two.

Also knowing where you place at intersections, as in telephone poles or stakes, facing traffic as it leaves to work from the target area or facing traffic as it comes home from work, what is too many signs and what isn’t enough, etc.I really look forward to hearing what you guys have to say.

And now I have been up all night long studying RE Investing and being on my laptop, and must go find a JOB in something like telephone work to make ends meet.

It looks like they created a reverse process (you tell then what you want and they tell you if the credit profile fits).Please Note Effective January 1, 2007: Credit Bureaus require landlords or businesses wishing to receive credit reports to have an on-site inspection, have a publicly listed business telephone number and a business license.

Is anyone using this new service to unify telephone numbers, etc.?

And you will close a lot more sales this way.It is important that you only let the telephone ring three times before hanging up.

I think both Mike and Eric are a little right...Real Estate Investing has so many languages that we all can have an opinion and each one of us be correct.When a seller calls me and they re upside down or in "fantasy" land I let them know on the telephone...however I don’t educate the seller about my buying techniques on the phone.If you sense they are a Short Sale candidate ask them if they have spoken to their lender about a short sale. 6 months ago the general public didn’t know what that term meant now almost everyone who is upside down and behind in payments does.I like asking if they have spoken to their lender over asking them if they would consider a short sale...

I plan on a telephone conversation to make my offer & mention the contingencies I require, then, if accepted, following up with a Letter of Intent that puts in writing the details (including the subsidies he's offered and the good faith deposit I'll provide along with a signed/accepted P&S Agreement).Finally, as you suggest, I'll try to get a referral to a R.E. attorney.Thank you SO MUCH for all your help!
