How did you find those, referrals, direct marketing, word of mouth, drive for dollars?

I do commercial property management and 100% of my sites are long distance, sometimes in small towns where it’s tough to get word of mouth recommendations.

Networking and word of mouth has generated the most leads. 

Found this deal through word of mouth and a lot of persistence.

You are seen as a serious person who is putting their money where their mouth is, and really takes their out of state investing future seriously.

If you really want the home, don't bad mouth it then ask to buy it, praise it, talk about how much you like it!

Trying to find contractors that are worth anything is nearly impossible and they have no incentive to do a decent job... give me a slower market where they WANT the work and I'll be much happier...

You will be happier in the end, trust me.

If you vomited in your mouth a little bit, don’t worry you’re not alone.
