I have heard lot of experienced investors spew out a statistic that out of every 10 offers only 1 will get accepted.

@Will Barnard  this year saw me doing my continuing ED for my CA re brokers license my state of Oregon mortgage bankers license..So I pass the CA brokers which I have been doing for 40 years.. then I have to do on the RE Bureau website and pay my fee and such... what stood out for me was a big bold tab at the bottom of the page.. ( If you suspect anyone of selling RE without a license make complaints here )....

For what it is worth the statistic is not the "last 3 years" it is 2007-10

W/ regards to crime statistics you can use Trulia crime map to review if a block is hot or not.  

I've bolded my concerns. 

Hi Lesley, I understood what you said, but that portion in bold is a result of a combination of either incompetence on the part of lenders, and/or investors buying real estate that does not cashflow, and not fannie/freddie rules. 

Be bold and ask people to meet up.

Bold but chill...

I know the statistics on how high the turn over rate is in real estate, but I believe in myself.

. :)I have 14 different partnerships with folks all over the world.. and in our operating agreement when it comes to who has the right to sign I had my attorney bold it larger phont etc that I had sole signing authority.. cant be doing the volume we do and have to chase people down all over the world.. plus they have to go to the embassy..
