But on this specific guy, I jumped on a call to explore the program and it was a high pressure sales call, it did not feel organic, not trustworthy and certainly did not feel the right fit.Why would someone spend 10k on a so niched-down space of real estate when they can get someone for the same amount to teach him/her everything?  

It's a competitive market and most of the people that get in trouble here are ones that buy blindly without actually figuring out the numbers, etc.You'd be surprised the number of times I get asked after month one if their electric bill of $xxx or whatever is normal, and the thought running through my head is "how did you not  check things like that before you committed half a million dollars to something?"

We also run numbers to avoid lost money on blindly paying for an appraisal to find out its a dead deal or of no benefit.

There can also be a lot of bad advice, so be sure you know your local laws before blindly accepting this type of advice.After 30 years of being in this industry, a lot has happened. 

I know I talked a lot but I'm geniunely looking for any advice or blind spots in my strategy.

Plus we also able to negotiate a frigerator (not part of standard package) as well as blinds for all windows. 

For those interested, a combination of mortgages with no “due on sale” clause, mortgage companies loose due diligence, and title insurers willingness to “turn a blind eye” to practices that wouldn’t pass scrutiny now, resulted in tactics like the “second mortgage crank” which not only allowed investors to purchase properties with no money out of pocket but allowed investors to actually walk away from closing with “cash in their pocket”.

You can't see the property before if it's a true foreclosure so you are bidding blind.3.

If you have evidence of the damage, it is unlikely the tenant will spend the time and money to take you to court.

Apparently that doesn't disqualify you to be president though and unfortunately there is no IQ test to vote, maybe more people should get into politics.I was in Lowe's yesterday picking up a blind for a rental house I just finished and leased.
