I've always believed that we're in real estate to do good and to help others, to be a problem solver.  

Other than that I am completely fine with door knocking and talking to sellers to be there problem solver.

Part of me is this is not worth the trouble but the investor\problem solver wants to solve it and sees a gain for doing so. 

Me personally, NO DEAL because unless they're truly ready to sell and ultimately take advantage of your help (investors are problem solvers that specialize in creating win-wins) then you could waste time at a profit margin that only seems like a win for seller and not another investor.I like to keep the ball rolling.

Because we are new, we see all of these things as bad :(I know we are supposed to be "problem solvers" as real estate investors per one of the podcast guests, but we also don't want to move forward if the problems are bigger than the budget. 

This was good to see because this happens often and we have to be able to be problem solvers or plan for unexpected changes.  

All you can do is making the best educated guess and be a good enough problem solver once you have it to turn a profit.

If you want to build a business and develop a reputation as a “problem solver,” partner up with your seller... and if course save on fee’s and all the other jazz.

It's important to focus on being a problem solver for potential sellers, and to develop genuine relationships.

Again, be a problem solver, not a house buyer.
