just logged into my biggerpockets account, and found this in my inbox:Hi XXX...Im an investor/rehabber in Canandaigua...I googled Doug Hirt's name and read your blog..just bought a furnace from him and he was adamant about getting $ up front for installing it...I was a bit confused he was demanding payment up front considering he told me he has 300+ houses, 10 employees, his sons worked for him and spends 6 figures monthly at lowes/Home Depot...does he have a reputation as a scammer?

You can always say :" I like this property xxx, do you have others similar to this?"

Something like "Home priced for quick sale, call XXX-XXXX"

One of the biggest mistakes I believe people have made is thinking I have to buy xxx houses this year.

Thanks Hey Ryan,The show notes can be found here: https://www.biggerpockets.com/renewsblog/biggerpoc...The show notes can always be found at the URL "www.biggerpockets.com/showXXX" where XXX is the show number.For example, I found these show notes at "www.biggerpockets.com/show288"

Maybe you've never applied for a mortgage or closed on a home before, but you essentially sign a mountain of paperwork saying "I promise to pay back this loan at $XXX per month for XX years" (the document is literally called a promissory note), "and if I don't pay as agreed I acknowledge the bank can foreclose and take the house back".Signing those documents without the intention to actually pay is, quite literally, "lying to the bank"...in writing and "under oath" no less (since these documents are typically notarized). 

For example:  Bob has the opinion that if he buys a KC property (turnkey or a BRRRR) that will rent for $XXX/month, it's a good investment. 

His phone is XXX and email is XXX.  

xxx

When you first speak with potiental tenant tell them the rent is due on the first for $XXX.
