I just personally don’t like his style and think he is more of a promoter than anything else, which can be said for many people we hear and see regularly.  

I love the Southern-style front porch.

Most court house buyers like me would never have even talk to the owner would have just went straight to eviction and ended up with a mess.. my style was to always knock on the door and talk to the person who lost the house.

My style of investing is take my time and buy properties in good shape, or if the property needs anything that I think will be a problem, I will go ahead and fix or replace before I rent it.

Look for agents with experience, local market knowledge, communication style, and connections to resources.

All that "certainly yes" cheerleading (and other Grant Cardone-style baseless crap) is best ignored.Read this older thread that states my opinion on the issue:https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/51/topics/1124042-tax-d... 

Just some food for thought.Typically from my experience, a lender that is willing to do a "blanket" style loan, lends from their own portfolio.

People who are able to work their business or job remotely will choose a vacation style locale to live like Florida where we have great weather, no state taxes, and a very low tax rate compared to other states.

The rent to price ratio's look really good for Texas (as well as compared to national levels) and my models cashflow at 20% down if the rate is at 5% or lower, really at the current rates its more breakeven but there Refi potential over the coming years and there is appreciation upside in my opinion with the new Tom Thumb, HEB, and Target breaking ground this year making Forney a more classic style suburb.

But, as you pointed out, the product is money, and keeping the conversation focused on the exchange of value is key for others.It’s all about knowing your audience, and it sounds like your no-nonsense style has been incredibly effective.
