I was going to say - I bet this strategy went over really well during the anthrax scare - but what you just described actually sounds like the worst case scenario that could happen for type of marketing ( whats good is that you did not end up behind bars) one question - did it not cross your mid that someone receiving a package with a pill in it would trigger any red flags , given the hysteria going on at the time?

That is not a win in my mind Also, a sale especially short term triggers tax implications with no writeoff.

From what I can see, I suspect that 99% of wanna-be "investors" probably never pull the trigger even once so you should always have something to fall back on.

Unless something really unusual happens, like a stop loss triggering, I just leave it alone.

If the one you're working with doesn't pull the trigger, gotta find one that will.

Such as traveling and scoping out areas untill I finally pulled the trigger on the property?

But if you get a sure high-value target in your sights, you should pull the trigger today.

Consumer spending decreases which triggers more layoffs, and ultimately causes some businesses to fail.

If you have a buyer list with serious investors that are actively looking for deas and know they have the financial firepower to pull the trigger and you show them a great deal that exactly meets their criteria you should be able to do the deal fast.Some extra advice, once you have serious buyers, speed the process up by helping them do the due dilligence.

Also, thank you for your thoughts because I'm constantly trying to learn more about landlording with hopes of pulling the trigger this year.
