They are so focused on upselling youYou know the routine — you’re invited to a free seminar to learn about a new method of real estate investing, and the presenter or guru teases you with tidbits but offers nothing substantial.

To give you a tease, my worse appreciating property has appreciated ~$2700/month over its hold (this was probably purchased at greater than retail due to lower finance interest rate).Good luck

I'm teasing but in seriousness I have found using a plain doorknob with NO LOCK paired with a basic programmable deadbolt to work well.

Since you don't have a copy of the lease, just tease them with, I understand your rent is X (made up #) and I won't raise that until your lease ends on X date. 

And that's how the bad (yes there are good ones) gurus work to succeed - offer the least, charge the most, and tease to keep the tap open. 

So, depending on what you are trying to tease out of those numbers the averages might not give useful conclusions since they won't reflect what is actually going on in any market.

I'm not pissed and I'm only teasing. 

Question 4: “Hidden Hurdles”: It seems easy and some of the large shops only tease the MLO with hope and not the hard work it takes to be successful.

I know was just teasing  you. 

Unfortunately I cant spread that on BP. )But that's just one instance, I know I might of teased you a little but that wasn't the real issue.
