I agree with @Jay HinrichsThe high touch, soft skills, face to face skills (belly button to belly button, Tom Hopkins :))I used to present to group lawyers for D.I. and Life Insurance Defined Benefit Plans, bunch of sharks, not for the squeamish. 

Virtual buying is great, somewhat easy (not as easy as belly to belly) and can be profitable if done correctly. 

So again this is what you do, and you better get me some fat chickens for this awesome advice...Work on your website.

Yeah fat chance.

I saw 1000s of investors in the bay area go belly up in 2008 because they thought they were going to get rich quick.When you are just starting out, sometimes it just best to invest into your own home and live there for a few years to build credit and equity for leverage on you next property.

Oooohhhh man, thank you, seriously, I have not had a belly laugh like that in a long time.

Now I have fat reserves, fat equity and don't mind purchasing with cash .I use private lenders vs commercial loans and you couldn't get me to blanket collateralize multiple properties if you paid me. 

I would tell people who were worried about a recession or a slow market that "It does not matter what the rest of the country is doing, we are in our own world here, they can go belly up and we will always be alright".

@JD MartinBig fat no on that one Mr.

Hi @Anthony Bell, I plan to attend the KARHA meeting next Tuesday that @Brad Boone is talking about.
