This can lead to a bad taste in Realtors and Seller's mouth.   

That's like asking, "Does food taste good?"

My wife and I have enjoyed the MTR strategy for about 4 years now, and I think it is a viable way to "do" real estate, but it is definitely an acquired taste that not everyone is going to enjoy.MTR isn't quite LTR, and it isn't quite STR, and it definitely isn't just merging the two together.

Decorate it tastefully with team-specific memorabilia.

Those are two bear traps that investors fall into daily that will absolutely demolish you and put such a bad taste in your mouth you may never return.Nobody wants to pay 3 points at 13% on a bridge loan, but if #1 and #2 above go well it will never kill you.

Many of them will provide a taste and then point you to their paid course.

So to me Pinot land can only go so far.So wine tasting in the WV gets a little tiresome when every winery basically only has pinot and maybe one white. and or they buy their grapes from E Washington to make different varietals.

Then again, my taste in markets has changed over the years especially as I get closer to retirement.Hope my opinion could be of help.Best,Dave

In my local MLS (Mid Carolina Region MLS), wholesaling has left a bad taste in buyer/sellers minds, so the MLS is creating rules to basically prevent wholesaling. 

I used to live across the street from his Atlas Peak winery and would catch him at late afternoon tastings for some reminiscing on the old days.
