Also, educate yourself on door knocking scripts and tactics, then start pounding the pavement!

And as the saying goes, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

You will be amazed how much you will learn by pounding the pavement and connecting with people in the industry.

@Cody Evans I agree with others, time to pound the pavement...knock doors.

@Tom Gimer Not buying owner's title insurance is one of the most penny-wise, pound-foolish decisions a buyer can make.Saving the cost of a one-time payment means that you're at risk of completely losing the property to a bad title sometime in the future.Think about us here in MA - specifically Plymouth (America's Home Town). 

You're in the neighborhood of 150#/CF, so, check my math, but the cake that falls out could weigh around 800 pounds.

That would significantly reduce the price, and sellers would tell me to pound sand, right?

I tell them they can go pound sand with what they are offering.

You mention that water damage is a freak accident situation, I would say fire will be an even more freak accident.I believe the statement penny wise pound foolish would apply to this.

Recently i pound the pavement and use drop cards.
