Not just in money, but in advice, time, and genuine care for others.

Pete,I'm genuinely curious if you could share the ballpark price and location of these 3 homes?

He is knowledgeable and generous and genuinely loves to teach and help people.  

I can’t stress enough that this must be completely genuine and not trying to just give them a sales pitch or anything to get people on the phone, you are trying to “make friends” and learn with people in that industry.

They are going to price it at the sum of the notes, plus legal fees.Once the property reverts back to the back -- since it didn't sell at auction, then you can negotiate.The best way to get the bank to take your short-sale offer seriously is with a genuinely priced offer and a BPO with what the property condition is an what it will market for.

I am considering his coaching program because he seems to me like a very genuine guy and his fee are NOT as hefty in perspective; I mean compared to many others I have seen so far.Why aren't there just mentor willing to take a 50/50 cut on deals by signing a "joint venture agreement" attached to all deals?

The only reason I would quit my job now is if I have something that would genuinely interest me and would be worth it to trade the 40 hours I spend at my job to pursue something else.

I genuinely appreciate your guidance and I think it's amazing that you guys take the time on these forums to help everyone.

Given that I have never seen the place I still genuinely think this could be an OK deal. 

When you can truly speak to your tenants, understand your community, and can genuinely manage your properties with a little patience & love, you will have a true bond that can/will mitigate many of the negatives.
