Wade Sikkink I’m curious why your saying that Never split the difference is “advanced” I’ve read it multiple time and I think it hat everyone could relate to it in some level, However I’m happy to hear people discussing this book.

I know lots of people here are part time investors, who also have a day job, family, ... etc.Managing a real estate business means you have to wear multiple hats and have to manage: your Property Management Company, your Leasing Agent (commercial), your Lawyer (who reviews your leases), your Tenants, Insurance Company (to ensure they don't screw you), your financial institution, county, state and federal politics to see how those might impact your business, Tax questions/issues, Income and Expenses, your own LLC and its obligation and compliance,  ... etc.How do you keep track of all of this?

As investors we're supposed to put on our "impartial hat" and make attempts to act without much emotion toward properties, but it wouldn't be easy for me to do the same for a neighbor's property, especially if I knew them on some level.

My hat is off to ya for stepping out of your home state, that takes guts man!

I'm also just not that warm and cuddly ;-)When I was a kid, my family out west had a saying about hats and cattle which fits here.....On a related note:  Mr.

Well if you are wearing your contractor hat, then no, you don't get to decide that - the owner does. 

You need to determine do you want to throw your hat in the ring in a hot market or look for the next future hot Market, there are pros and cons in either option.  

Direct mail, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Twitter, Bigger Pockets, LinkedIn, Yard signs, Trucks, Little League Sponsorship, City Parades, Murals, T-shirts, Hats....

Sweat through two or three hats. 

So it seems risky to me, but if you pull it off, hats off to you!
