I have learn this hard way, as I have lost really good deal, similar story...great potential property,  I have actually met decent owner son in person as he was still living in the building, and after long talk with him  ...  

Target property is in my local area and the county assessors web site shows it is own by a local person as well though the billing address is different.According to the voicemail left for me they are claiming that they do not own the house that I mailed them about.

Planning an inspection makes sense, then they can't avoid you in person. As

REI is a seriously entrepreneurial pursuit, yet this site seems to treat entrepreneurs as almost "persona non grata".There isn't even an entrepreneurial focus to the approach to REI among senior people on the site on the BP side or on the community side.BP tries to be educational through it's "free courses".

Going thru the listing agent has advantages and dropping of the offer in person as you are doing .I used to shoot off 10-20 offers a week unseen in the hopes of just getting into the bidding for one .That was one of the main reasons I became an agent

I have a business, but will he do my persona return too?

Plus the check would be addressed to me as a person as well...Scenario 2: I write a check from the property management account into the account of the LLC that holds the property, then that LLC that holds the house will write a check to me personally?

I think Thomas S. killed @greg S and took his last name and BP persona.

When I represented another person as a buyer or seller then I split my commissions with the agency.
