This lets me know I have more calls to come and all I need to do is hit the ball 3x.While this may discourage new investors, you must think like a pro baseball player, if you hit the ball 2 out of 10 times you are in the minor leagues, if you hit the ball 3 out of 10 times you are pro ball player and making millions.

And the bigger players I know on the west coast will not either.

Odenton and Severn are going gangbusters ,especially near the casino .

yes i have contacted them sice they seem to be the only major players in that market.

Those nay-sayers are rarely real players in RE.

If the other players are only contributing money then your service is outside of the operation of the property and should be considered a fee for professional services.

In a BK there are many moving pieces and players and they can affect the process and outcome.

We've seen posts here on BP about "bigger players" getting into some markets.

Ok, here are a few more thoughts on the subject: If you market to niches that you really understand and even sub-niches within the larger categories, you can become the dominant player, irrespectively of your size and relative access to capital.If you have expertise in solving specific kinds of problems, as a hard money originating lender, you can close faster.If you actually have you own money (or at least a credit or warehouse line) you can close still faster if you so choose, and outperform other wouldbe competitors.

I have a professional baseball player here in town for spring training who insisted on paying his entire 6 month lease up front.
