Pick the ones they feel best about that pass CAPs and cash on cash then make a few offers.OR wait for this global trade war to shake out our economy, stay in cash investments and wait for a better opportunity down the road while pounding the pavement in alternative areas that they might now know yet.

But I do agree with you that money appears to  be saved with a "Graigslist drafter" but not really, more penny wise pound foolish.I don't think there is an investor friendly builder. 

Sooooo not professional; BP is a professional RE site, not the social media space for ranting and pounding your chest. 

Lastly, please an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

Fire them and get a new one and stop pounding your head against the wall.  

(Between franchise and leadgen fees, I netted a pitiful 28.5% on those leads)It's really hard to pound out your own phone calls when you answer a never ending stream of telemarketing calls and those who just want to leave a message for the broker.Walk-ins and call ins as new leads (the supposed big payoff for desk time) were virtually non-existant.  20 years ago, sure.  

@John Horner  you guys have over reliance on attornies in your closing process.WE would be doing this work without an attorney.. actually our title company would handle it for us.. and if they got no where then we go to the state and pound on the door.. the state wants money you have the money.. they should or will take the money.you step in and do the leg work...

If you eventually sell without a 1031 whether in CA or out they will get their pound of flesh :)

I've seen some of it, it's dated, still hyped but there are ethical issues to approaches and it all needs to be taken with a pound of salt, not a grain.I'm all for getting face to face with other investors and operators, networking is key to your success. 

Anyways, I'm back in the market for my next rehab and Ive been pounding the pavement estimating rehabs, calculating ARV's, and placing max offers on properties.
