Then look online (MLS, Redfin, Property Shark) and test out the numbers. 

A seller offering a land contract sounds more like a shark.

he sounds like a shark to me.

Make sure the screw driver fits entirely across the screw head slot that you've cut.Good Luck!

Ask for 10 - 15 minute slots at the local REIAs and build your brand and reputation first.Just my 2 cents :-)Cheers!

It was my first tenant so I suppose the best way to learn to swim is to be thrown to the sharks straight off the bat!

It's easier to batch the calls than convince yourself to make one call each day, so dedicate a time slot to get it all done with real conversation rather than becoming just another applicant. 

Should i be concerned that there are sharks out there or should i be jumping at these?

My advice, is in the beginning purchase in your personal name as you will get the best financing terms and once you get close to running out of slots, then buying in the name of an LLC can help continue your growth and by then you have a good track record as well.Happy hunting,Eric

Best I can think of is heavy on the sales/fear pitch, but also they were predatory, like a shark kind of predatory.
