Why would one go with you instead of one of the proven pros on here with a few thousand more than 8 posts, with proven track records and a history of helping people and demonstrating their knowledge?  

That is true,  you need some real friends in this business - but to make it easy on you, you should be with a mentor - someone who has done what you want to do - a coach - someone who can demonstrate that they have a serious net worth of well over one million dollars.

If that's the case you should be able to demonstrate extreme hardship and inability to pay.You have to remember often times the person you call is the servicing company and not the lender.

in regards to #2Some recent scenarios I have closed demonstrating seller advantages:-Scenario A - How a seller can benefit from pocket listings - More exposure over a longer period of time can lead to more opportunities and choices.1.

The second demonstrates how rents have increased more in some areas and less in others.

.$3,000 / 5 years = $600 a yearAdd $300 in maintenance and gas = $900Add $300 for your time = $1,200Meanwhile, you can hire someone else to do the job for $100 an hour. 10 hours x $100 = $1,000 According to this quick demonstration, it would be cheaper to hire someone else than to do it on your own.

In tandem, I'm continuing to seek partners to demonstrate what I can bring to the table besides just $.Thanks again.

Second, it demonstrates to others that you are able to close.

If you are looking at commercial lending it's much the same advantages in rates/terms, you simply need a good business plan, a property demonstrating good numbers or even some forced appreciation through value-add possibilities.I would suggest not going it alone.

----------------You've got to be formal, you've got to be classy, you've got to be personal, you have to think hard about how what you say could be taken by someone who is demonstrate that you know something about the property to express significant interest, you've got to mention in this market that you're not going to ridiculously low-ball the owner (even though, well, of course you'll try), you've got to mention that you can close quickly.
