@Brian Pulaski  well that's the point.. we are all in it to win it.... not to just go out and have a nice chit chat with someone.. so you want to go in Guns' blazing.. its rare that these folks talk to only one person.and for sure there was no way I was going to put all the time and effort into this business then beat out of the deal by someone who had Zero money or capacity to transact and in our state was doing it illegally to boot..

You have no money but you do have time.What you don't want to do is go out there "guns blazing" and make mistake after mistake and develop a bad rep in your market.Sellers will not take you seriously then.

You are ready to cast off from the safety and security of your cubicle at the office and blaze a new trail of entrepreneurship.

@Bob Bowling Your original "guns blazing" response to @Ron Thomas only quoted "Everyone that's read a book understands that Price=NOI/Cap Rate", (not the bit that said "the present value of a given stream of infinite cashflows = that cashflow divided by the current rate of interest").As for his term "cashflow", it should have been obvious that he meant "cash-on-cash rate of return" (divided by prevailing interest rate)!

Blaze Pizza.

I was worried the lead had gone cold, but it was blazing hot still!  

You come into this with gun blazing of legal threats and it will start you off on the wrong foot with someone you want to have a cordial and professional relationship with over the course of your tenancy.

We've got great programs, rates, fees and,we're blazing fast as we control the entire lending process internally from origination to funding and close. 4-7 days is average for us onc we receive your package from you.
