They'll probably initially push back saying that rate is for new customers only or some other BS, but some variation of the line "I'm either going to have a lower rate or your going to disconnect my service before I hang up this phone" is a pretty effective tactic.

It's a sneaky tactic used by so many these days.  

I'm thinking of using that tactic against the non-responsive owners of the run-down MFR's/SFR rentals in my area, even if it feels kinda like I'm "playing dirty."  

I want my listing agent on my deals to have a fierce loyalty and willingness to use all reasonable and ethical tactics to get me top dollar.

I think some of the ethics requirements that go along with a license and NAR membership would hinder a lot of wholesalers tactics.

I have used this tactic with my insurance agency for years and got some really talented kids for $10-12hr.

I live to see the day, though.US law is based on the old UK common law, so I don't think these B.S. tactics would fly in the UK or the US.

Best just to pay and be done.People tend to follow the advice of the "gurus" (including podcasts), many of whom use scare tactics to instill a sense of fear in us, and then find themselves in the same situation you're in... owning a property in an LLC, and finding out you can't litigate even the simplest of matters without hiring an attorney to represent the LLC in court.Thank the gurus and podcast authors who systematically promote half-truths (the benefits of their ways without even a mention of the down-sides) for this.  

My adverising will be kinda "guerilla tactic to attract the most attention by use of a mobile Bill Board towed on the back of a small boat trailer which I can park for short hourly intervals a few times a week at various street corners in the geographic area of the rental.

This tactic needs to be treated with care as you can get yourself in trouble if you do it wrong.
