There is an amazing difference in knowledge, skill, and experience between long term agents with whom real estate is their career (life) and the agent whose in real estate because he’s a career SALESMAN selling the hottest thing; you know, the guy who’ll be selling oil well drilling participations next year, and advertising services the year after. 

The markets regain sanity… I will be able to two properties to rehab with cash.. and have cash reserves… and equity…and cash flow.Possibly from the people who bought from the snake oil guy.I don’t mean to sound rude….

It also might be nice to take them out to dinner at Olive Garden afterwards every time for some fun time.

Working with a well-oiled machine is much better than working with an agent and a lender who don't know each other.

Nothing against, but I have an issue with snake oil sales people. 

Quote from @Michael Oliver: Hello.  

This holds true for realtors, especially contractors (I want one who talks about how he is going to do the job not tell me about how awesome he is when he built this and that and this and that, they talk to much they are snake oil salespeople)

For example, total pollution exclusion that most policies have now....lets make an extreme example and say your tenant decides to start pouring used motor oil into a hole in the ground in your back yard.  

BEWARE THIS SNAKE OIL MERCHANT.
