You have to strike up, at least, a light-hearted relationship with them.

Quite honestly, I've suffered the ignorance of others in silence mostly because I have felt that my opinion is of no consequence.... truthfully, it feels as though you are "pushing rope" with the mindsets of the lesser minded.However, it is in times like these that it becomes incumbent upon all investors, Realtors® Wholesalers, and others involved in the real estate arena to strike out, and call lunacy what it is.This is clearly the most uninformed, ridiculous post I've ever read on BP.

I would send PC's and save the more expensive marketing pieces to follow up with folks that have contacted you but you weren't able to strike a deal with.

Do you happen to have any favorite podcasts I should checkout or just whatever strikes my fancy?

Just remember you strike out 100% of the times you don't swing. 

Even if you end up not striking a deal, it will make the next time around much easier and far less scary.That said, I do believe you should make conventional financing your Plan A.

By design, I have plenty of time for my wife and daughters, tennis, travel, woodworking, whatever strikes me.

Sorry to hijack this thread, but I keep striking out elsewhere and thought I would check with people that are responding to Lima area posts.

There comes a tipping point when it makes sense to outsource but if your leads are trickling in it would be beneficial to do it your self and strike while the iron is hot as they say. 

For B, queue that viral video of the woman whose house caught fire: "ain't nobody got time for that."
