Again, thanks for taking the time to listen to this message and remember to speak slowly and clearly, spell any uncommon names, and give me as many details about the property as you would like to.

Hi @Marc Oister, if this is your first time hitting this list, a low response would not be uncommon.

In Los Angeles it's not uncommon to hit a list 10 times more That said, being a transaction engineer where you help Sellers solve problems, where you can offer a listing as a solution if there's enough equity, or a sub to or a lease option or wraparound mortgage purchase  Lastly, a joint venture with the seller, helping them sell by buying it, fixing it, and reselling it quickly, earning a joint venture fee, is another tool to use with all your leads  Bill Gulley talks about a TIC or a tenants-in-common contract Bottom line, fill your toolbox up, don't be a one trick pony, be a transaction engineer

I'll bet it's not that uncommon for a seller to eventually get less by going with that option. 

The negativity isn't uncommon.

@Daniel Godbout separate property and General Liability policies is not uncommon for higher risk properties.  

@Marcos Flores That's actually not an uncommon feeling amongst investors who have been buying in the area for the past 5+ years.

This process is referred to as an unlawful detainer and can usually be completed within four to six weeks.During this process it isn’t uncommon for the lender to send out a “Boarding†crew to go out to the property and change the locks and board up the windows in fear of vandalism.

As an investor, you can't ignore expenses because they are uncommon or far into the future.

Lastly you should put a solid system in place like something shown in the Joe McCall mind map (you can find it with a google search) and be consistent, keep plugging away until you get some deals done, this can be a few weeks after you begin the mailings or a few months, neither result is uncommon.
