Simply put, your sphere of influence are circles of people that you already know.

Also, the rate the fed is always adjusting isn't the mortgage rate only something that influences it.

At 18 with an interest in CRE I'd be surprised if you didn't get influenced by someone you know?

Great feedback, but I don't just target strangers I reach out to my sphere of influence as well.  

Quote from @Stuart Udis: My comment has nothing to do with comps and your decision to make the repair shouldn't be comp influenced either.  

Interest Rates: Current spreads, rate structure, buydowns, mission driven business, factors that influence your rate, etc.5.

My post was mostly influenced by a misunderstanding of the tax code.

.• Coercion, fraud, oppression, duress, and undue influence.• That the deed is not subsequent to the execution of the mortgage but contemporaneous with it.• That the grantor/mortgagor was insolvent at the time of the execution of the deed.An estoppel affidavit (executed and acknowledged by the grantor/mortgagor, attesting to the fairness of the transaction, the consideration exchanged, the value of the property, and other factors showing an intention to make a genuine transfer) or a recital (inserted directly in the deed) are supporting documents used to forestall challenges to these transactions.State law and local title standards must be consulted in regard to the consideration and treatment of deeds in lieu of foreclosure.What a GREAT post!   

How many people are in your “sphere of influence” that will use you to buy or sell without needing to pay for marketing? 

But the real difference comes down to what actually drives revenue.For example, splurging on a mural in a one-bedroom rental for travel nurses won’t necessarily increase bookings (unless they’re influencers and you have a social media strategy for your rental).
