But there are the few arrogant, know-it-alls, who are bound and determined to use their outdated, 1990s tactic.  

One of the tactics we think is being employed is to require from the Unit owners a 5 million dollar liability insurance to discourage not becoming part of the hotel program.

I just recently got on this site and have been overwhelmed with all of the new information and investment tactics.

Some investors want to earn ~10%, and are willing to do so short term, while other investors want long term stability and would be happy with 5%.One tactic is to have the fund lend at 10% rates on un-stabilized properties, no prepayment penalty, where all of this income goes to the 10% tranche.

Now, there's nothing wrong with these tactics, and they were both very up front about the whole thing.

You may find that sometimes you will get pitched ideas about giving money to learn techniques and tactics to make money in this business.

Direct mail and cold calling owners are also good tactics that I've seen.

Starting your career unethically, classic wholesaler tactic.

@Ryan Copeland Don’t let this scare you, it’s a tactic often threatens by crappy contractors (I have filed Legitimate liens as a contractor).  1) there are penalties for filing fraudulent liens2) you could get his lien squashed with one court hearing, assuming it is not legit3) in almost every state there is a mechanism for get the lien “bonded off”, or removed from the property, while you get it quashed or just let it lie since they usually never file the suit to enforce it and liens expire, typically in a year, if the contractor doesn’t file suit to enforce it.

While some of them might be worthwhile at a high level, none are going to help you with the tactical details you need.There are a couple of good books on wholesaling.
