Honesty, competency and a good business reputation are qualities to look for IMO.I don't think most investors should be looking for someone who takes orders, you don't want a "yes" man, you need someone who knows more than you do and who will assist, be a player, and keep you from making mistakes!

To be honest, I really had no mentor and wasn't a member of BP yet, so I'd be really curious to hear what more seasoned investors have to say!

I'm just straight forward & honest. I

Or maybe I only received input from folks who like to turn faster profits and move on to the next investment.Not sure what I'd do with the money to be honest.  I

To be honest I haven't conquered it totally, but I think recognizing and labeling it helps a lot. 

To be honest I have never heard of a wholesaler that has build and kept up a long term relationship with real estate agents, the agents always move on because we don’t have much to offer them.

In all honesty, I don't think most wannabes need anything but the motivational nonsense because they're not going to do anything anyway.

I like real estate for the opportunity that it provides.Some of my investor buyers for my listings have multiple stock accounts they pull from to purchase real estate.Personally I like real estate because it is a tangible asset.I don't like the idea of paper to be worth 100 one day and 10 cents the next.At least with a property barring and act of God or some other strange occurrance I will have a tangible asset to sell.I know some will say but if you bought at the height of the market you would be upside down on that tangible asset.I didn't buy anything back then.I saw many people laughing and making money refinancing and to be honest I did feel like maybe I was missing out.I waited on now I am so glad that I did because many of those same people laughing with joy are crying in pain.Stocks just like real estate is something that if you just dabble in it you can lose everything.The sexy part of stocks just like real estate is to make money quick but many more lose than win.The losers aren't talked about much but the few winners are pumped up to sell marketing and courses to extract money from the herds.For my honeymoon years ago we went to Tennessee.While there my wife had an adverse reaction I think to the make up used at the wedding (she has sensitive skin).So we went to a local doc.This guy was really nice but old in his late 80's.We started chatting up and he said it was just a reaction to something and gave her a shot.I talked about real estate.That's when he said him and his wife had put all of their retirement in Enron stock and had it for awhile then BOOM the bottom fell out and they lost everything.He had to come out of retirement and open a practice again in his late 80's to make ends meet.That scared the hell out of me and made me stay away from stocks.I might eventually buy a small amount for a long term hold but I am not into risk with stock market.I have seen too many people see big dollar signs with their eyes and lose their shirts.

If you didn't ask and he didn't give any info on it than thats one thing, but you asked and he wasn't honest. I

Unsophisticated posters don't know how to make their own fancy tags and most wouldn't even be able to figure out how to post the code from Postlets into the ad.To be honest I generally liked my text ads better than Postlets except for the fact that you could have like 25 pictures in it.
