@Shiloh Lundahl Great topic and I did enjoy the philosophy and ego discussions of the podcast.

My current working philosophy on mass cold calling / RVMs / text messages / email ethics and FTC Laws:Calls / RVMs: Run numbers through the DNC registry, and fire away. 

If you follow this philosophy and keep investing over a long period of time (10-20 years) by dollar cost averaging you will end up with a handful of singles/doubles and be content that you didn't strike out at the top or never got started because you were waiting for the perfect pitch.Scott

Second thread posting here (thanks so much for the responses in advance everyone).I am hoping to get some advice on I can apply my mechanical engineering degree that I am about to get in a couple of weeks to Scott Trench's philosophy.

Plus i don't know your investment strategy or philosophy. 

That's why I subscribe to the philosophy of not creating artificial vacancy, and will ride a tenant in a distressed unit for as long as possible, because as soon as they leave, I'll have to spend $10-20k to get the unit in rentable condition again.  

Just to stay focused on the topic (and keeping ones philosophy aside): do you know any institution lending upto 100% LTV in Georgia?

I think it can boil down to the philosophy of each REI business owner.  

AlexHoldenI just posted this to a recent newbie.My philosophy for investing over last 40+ years in Norther Ca.I teach my newer students to focus on one thing.........CASH FLOW.

I understand that this is a different operating philosophy from most on this site, but if you want to know how to make money in a lower CAP rate environment, then keep an open mind and ask a Californian, or a Hawaiian, or a New Yorker (city).
