It's more effective for me as an introvert to meet 1:1 rather than in large groups because, like you, I'm not great at just walking up and striking a conversation.

Seems like offering “cash” is a good way to offer the seller incentive to strike a deal.

The appraiser reached out to see if there’s anything we can do to strike a deal so they can bring their two families closer.

Hurricane Florence is about to strike the Carolinas and then possibly Georgia, according to the latest storm track predictions.

You have to be careful either way as the tenant brokers try to find middle ground for the tenants and landlords to strike a deal.

Take your time, build up your investment cash, and be ready when the opportunity strikes.

In real estate you may not have that many 'at bat' attempts to swing, so one unlucky strike out should not end your investing career early.

This will be a lateral transfer for my day job and will put me within striking distance of (what I think are) my target market(s).

Any property I've owned more than 1-2 years (and some even sooner) have been refi'd where proceeds exceed my purchase price.You just have to be in a strong cash position (via your $, HML, F&F) to strike when the right value add deal is found.
