Many a deals have gone wrong on hand shakes only.

If they raise their hands, shake your head no and leave.Seriously though, if they've paid their rent every month, you could offer to rent them something else.

I have seen the total swing to be $10,000 with several investors....all one can do is shake their heads at them.

Also, make sure you know how many layers of shingle and/or cedar shake that is on the house. 

Make sure to tell every single person you wait on or drive somewhere that you're an agent, as this is a talk-to-people business, and if you make it your goal to shake hands with 10 people per day and tell them you're an agent you'll quickly find your first client.As for me, I already had experience in real estate as a flipper, and had already run a business before and was well-versed in sales.

I would venture to say that most RE divisions don't even know how the logistics of a wholesale deal go down - which is probably why they kind of freak out sometimes.My state is looking at it right now and we have no clue how it's going to shake out - but we are confident there will be new legislation that will effect wholesalers in the near future that applies to those with and without RE licenses.As a general rule, unless you have a RE license, it is illegal for you to advertise a property for sale that you do not own or are not a principle of. 

uh okI guess I can take a hint from the BP gods :shake: good luck to ya I guess

It's a smaller group so I should be able to meet and shake hands with just about everyone there!

Once you find the reasons, you may be able to make a great deal out of it, or you might shake your head and walk (or run) away.

Become a problem-solver, offer help, shake hands with a smile, be available and listen, listen, listen.
