@Francis Rusnak, I am just now studying for the RE exam and in no way claim to be an expert, but I'm pretty sure, you cannot require use of a particular lender as part of a sale as it would be a tie-in violation of Sherman antitrust laws.I'll be interested to see what some others, more experienced than myself, chime in with.

@Timothy Hero would you mind sharing which company was that and you could share a contact person.

If you want to be an investor dress and act the part and you will become the part.Learn the art of small talk, look at your surroundings find something of interest and engage your customer into a conversation about it for a short period and move on to your purpose as a investor "To acquire real estate".At this point, you need to keep in control of the conversation and not allow it to fall back to the "small talk" or you will loose your position and purpose of being there.In addition, continue to look for the opportunity to close the deal.The wise man will make more opportunities than he finds - Sir Francis BaconDid you know getting offers accepted is somewhere between total luck & absolute sells ability.It seems the smarter I work - the luckier I get & It’s not the # of hours you work or how hard you work, but it’s finding great deals that puts money in your pocket.Know Your CustomerDetermine their PAIN!
