Wear a nice sport coat and dress up do you don't look like a homeless person or a guy from a real estate club. 

I was not properly prepared for the combination of my work schedule (full time - surprise week of travel), holiday prep (gifts, 5 separate school performances for the kids, kids sports/logistics, hosting new years party), finalizing my engagement plans, and the increase of contact with possible sellers (formulating my first offers ever).  

One of the guys at my office is from New Jersey, and used to do leasing there - completely different sport than here in AZ, for SURE.  

Also get audio books there.Bought my last sports car way below value with the commission savings of my FSBOs last year.

Less than five minutes walk from the beach, a fishing pier, sporting equipment rentals, a grocery store, and it's next door to a year-round diner.

I couldn't do the things other kids did, play the sports other kids did, go on vacation, etc. because we didn't have the money.

But before someone thinks they would have to have ALL of that before pulling off a deal, let me just tell you a quick story.About 15 years ago, I had a dream of opening up an indoor sports arena.  

Easier to get rid of a consultant than an employee.Also, if you ever participated in sports the role of the coach is clearly to teach but just as importantly to bring out the highest performance of those they are coaching. 

Landlords don't ask tenants to leave just for sport.
