Occasionally, I will get an objection from an off-market homeowner that "might" sell saying...

I plan to pull my principle investment sometime soon and keep a balance of it. 

Read a text on real estate principles, law, and finance.  

But hey, once you embrace these principles, you'll be striding confidently toward a future full of prosperity through real estate investment."

Flat fee can work well for people who are knowledgeable in real estate principles and law, have experience negotiating deals, and have time to devote.  

Many new investors claim to have analysis paralysis, but that's usually an excuse for either a lack of confidence (you need more meetups and more authentic relationships with other real estate investors) or shiny object syndrome (you want to house hack, but you like apartments, but also flipping, and what about storage).

No system is perfect, so don't waste your time chasing after the next shiny object.

OP the good thing about BP is varying opinions and also objectives.  

The guy even makes calls to difficult seller's live right infront of you so you can hear what an expert does to overcome objectives..

Like objectively bad compared to people in other professions.
