When the smoooooooth talking salesman calls you after you listen to the podcast with all the pitch perfect questions I say SCAM.  

But she likes that one because the person listens to her and her hair looks great. 

Of course, you won't listen to this common sense because you know more than everyone else here on BP and will have to learn the hard way.So, recommend you find and attend some local investor meetings or commit to watching all the videos and reading all the material here on BP that you can.Good luck:)

@Scarlett Tao My advice is to listen to your PM and let them follow their process. 

After listening to him talk for close to 45 minutes, I finally said that if I have an extra $18,000 to $35,000 wouldn't I just invest that in my own property and get all of the rental income and if I sold the property 100% of the proceeds, not 50% of it. 

You have to do the work on the front end and vet out who you are listening to about the subject you want to learn about.

Listen to podcasts like the BP Rookie Podcast because they interview all newer people to the business so almost everything will be relevant for you.

Listen to an old episode of the BP main podcast with Dion McNeely.

It had had very little attention since listening out of town.

When I approve a customer for an investment home its extremely hard to find a good agent that will "listen" to the buyer and me as the banker.
