Anything more is icing on the cake, in case the worst happensYou don't NEED this much to start, that is just what I tell my OOS clients. 

It's hard to say which is the icing and which one is the cake, cash flow or appreciation. 

Prove you are more honest than anyone with: FICO 800, IRS returns with logical numbers, references with email and phone, background report, website with prior deals before and after with closing statements available to provide solid pudding not ice cream2.

On a personal note, I enjoy sports (football, soccer and hockey the most) and love to hike and spend my free time outdoors.

As a wholesaler you don't have a ice cube's chance on a hot sidewalk of dealing at this level with commercial buyers who really don't need you or will need you ever again.In other words, you're elephant hunting with a BB gun. 

No ice maker on the fridge as it breaks down and the line in back tends to leak and cause damage.No legal advice

But, I would also like to add in the note to make sure they post something on the Welcoming Forum, as to me it is the ice breaker.

So I look at the first cold call as a way not to sell but to break the ice, and try to get an appointment or ask if I can follow up with them at a later date in the future.

But the numbers I've seen are certainly icing on the cake :)What led you to investing in RE?

I really like the CPA strategies to maximize your deductions and increase your retirement investing - but to me that is just icing on the cake.
