I tip my hat to you if thats true 

Yes you can… BUT I think it much better (and safer for you) if you are totally clear on which hat you’re wearing before the appointment with the Seller starts - are you the buyer or the agent?

The worst part of what I do is having to tolerate agents who are "all hat, no cattle." 

it is absolutely illegal to approach those in foreclosures on the west coast without very specific set of circumstances  being met which  all hat no cattle investor will not meet. 

Insulation isn’t all the bad either, because you put the insulation in your furred out walls on the interior of the house.

Care about the solution for your customer, regardless of which hat you wear, and you'll be successful.

Something tipped off the IRS.It’s very hard to know what started the investigation but it could have been as simple as someone feeling they got cheated on a deal and called a lawyer or a discontented employee, an ex girlfriend or ex spouse, etc.The point is, he was breaking the law& I think it’s unlikely the IRS drew his name out of a hat.

@Matthew Paul I hope this @mention gets the right matthew paul, as there are 2 with the stock profile pic, you may consider uploading your actual pic.The question is, hat is the highest and best use of the property?

But when gold's next best use it to look shiny, it's hard to hang my hat on its tangibility as a necessity to its value.
