In my experience, the techniques they teach in seminars like bandit signs work very poorly.

Bill,Perhaps you misunderstood my response about creating a mortgage on your own property, I would never suggest something that would cause anyone the risk of incarceration, just not my style.I have been successful with every alternative method of financing and note techniques that I suggest to friends and associates and I am still staying legal and not wearing the color orange.If there is something I am not aware of about your comments, I will search for a clarification.Thank you for bringing the issue you have regarding my mortgage and note method of acquiring more real estate and freeing up personal equity.

I have read much here and on the net about techniques, but I don't see discussion about the essential business model for wholesaling, and what is the specific appeal to the seller is.First off, it seems patently obviously that the majority of folks sell their house in the typical way: hire a real estate agent and list the house.

This is a common business technique;  write directly to the party needing to take action and CC: to their manager to pressure performance.Print & SAVE the email showing the TO: & CC: as documentation for the case of non-performance and you need to refer the City to the PM

For me it was a great way to get my feet wet and learn the business from handling trades, sales techniques, property maintenance etc. before going full time on commission/investment only. 

Normally, they would say "what do you mean by that", which is a perfect opener for the various techniques I use (Subject, To, Wrap, Lease Option, etc) and that it didn't require fixing up the house or house "showings".

Review these for cues and clues.You can learn skip tracing techniques or pay experts to do this for you. 

Learn their techniques and maybe implement them into your own systems.

They will loan you the $$ for the expense course and use very questionable selling techniques.

Have you closed many deals using this technique?
