As a result, I'm of the persuasion that people should be free to exchange and consume ideas, opinions, and advice knowing that everyone accepts the responsibility for their own choices.Those who don't do proper due diligence on their deals will have to deal with the consequences.Why should it be any different for legal matters? 

Before when i was projected to net 1000+ cashflow a month just to move out, it was worth it, now the numbers are not quite as persuasive. 

However, it took him two years of persuasion to get the deal and convince his seller to sell to him.

Losing money to a rare bad person/tenant is a cost of doing business for me although I suspect people of certain political persuasions won't admit this to themselves.

I am almost sure that is what they'll tell me.Does anyone have a persuasion method, perhaps?

It is possible to do this with no money out of pocket, but it takes some persuasion skills and an understanding of the contract mechanics to make it work.I encourage you to network at the local REI and find someone who has specifically done what you are looking to do in your local area.Best of luck! 

Let me provide an example:  "I don't like people of the Blue persuasion so I don't intend to rent to them, so I'll take their money for a credit report that I don't have to run, and go have lunch with it."

A tip that's so simple yet so powerful, those who master it command remarkable powers of persuasion and profits.And that tip is this: It's all about them.This one simple concept could really become an entire seminar, or a book for that matter.

I got a very persuasive response that it was in violation of RESPA.

Never very effective or persuasive.
