Attorney has the power to accept or advise to have an offer accepted.Every seller that is motivated wants out, doesn't mean at any price and you haven't tied down any price, so you're speculating on a hunch and speculating that the attorney will accept a deal that keeps his client's credit and finances at risk after he moves on. 

Hello everyone,I'm a small time investor in Houston, TX and I have a question for the really detail oriented individuals out there who aren't relying on speculation. 

I have enough of a buffer to play this "rental speculation" idea.  

This is nothing more than speculation.

I am convinced this brings more showings from other agents in our market - I could speculate as to why, but that's for another discussion--.

These people think they are investors but they are really speculators.

If you did something day in and day out almost every minute, hour, second you would view things in reality instead of speculation.

Keep it factual...no speculation. 

So in the end, you're speculating on the future value.

Ask:1) What fundamental skills you should study and in what order 2) What questions that you SHOULD be asking (in order to ask better questions)3) Who you should be dining with now, and type person NOT to.4) If they make their money as an investor, speculator or in the business of providing a service.
