I also picked a few sweet deals when they used to advertise their highly distressed properties with a red box around them, and the label "ALL BIDS WILL BE CONSIDERED ON THIS PROPERTY".

Yes, they called it a HELOC, so use both labels when asking. 

If you pay up you get seated on premier front seats with reserved seats and your name labeled VIP.

Assuming that one did this, when following the 50% rule, is the property then labeled "self-sufficient?"

I do not want to label my company as amateur or faulty in any way because I haven't run the numbers correctly or performed my own due diligence in order to get my end client a great deal.

I did call an termite inspector and he verified that the termites are not active and found a label under one of the sinks indicating that the property was treated for termites.

They are simply labels.

And yes, anytime anybody suggests that there are other ways to invest besides purely for cashflow, we get labeled speculators ... that's fine, I'll laugh all the way to the bank.

I would personally label these people as slum lords, by virtue of the condition of these properties.However, since these are actual investors and not just landlords with a couple of properties, how do I approach them about the potential of selling those properties...or do I? 

You just need to use your common sense to label the bulshit as ********.2) I studied, watched videos, educated myself, obsessed about it.3) I created business cards4) I bought Clever investor's  M5 marketing system.
