Love Venice B and visited often when I lived in So Cal on two different occasions.

We don't turn agents with buyers away (well, we have on occasion), but we tell them they can show it to their buyer but we consider their fee when we see it in the written offer they present so we can see the bottom line, and if they don't like that, then they don't have to show it.

Or connect with some of us who, ourselves, brew on occasion.

I just wanted to add that on occasion I've been able to get some things done (out of the country) at a local military base.

I have on several occasions had a seller tell me to make an offer before they would provide me with the actual financials.

On other occasions I have seen that she will buy 5 filters at a time and keep them near the furnace so I believe she is good about changing the filters.

I have been approached on occasion to pick up a property this way or the second lender has asked me to help find a buyer.

I have rented to section 8 tenants on 3 different occasions and have no complaints.

But I think that's along the same lines as a blind squirrel finding a nut on occasion.

On many occasions I have tried to slow down my real estate investing business so that I can really enjoy life and basically do nothing.
