You can even learn a lot from leads that don't book with you, if you build report and ask the prospect worthwhile questions.

So, the rulings aren't necessarily as consistent as you would hope. 2.

Seller financed (probably) won't be reported to the credit bureaus and so won't impact your credit score at all.

So again I'm able to do that because I've built a life around real estate and it takes time a resources to consistently get deals like that.

My rentals are all over the place and on a yearly basis I make multiple and consistent visits to these places. 

I would assume you will need a police report to file an insurance claim on theft.

I would say if you're looking to invest, the first thing I would do is to build your CORE 4 which consists of having a great realtor, contractor, property manager, and attorney in whatever areas you decide to invest in.

I wonder if Mitch was able to get his refi done before a NOD was filed and or late payments were put on the orginal sellers credit report.. this is the real risk to the seller if they value their fico score at all.. on some of this stuff the sellers credit is already trashed and they dont care.. but if folks buy from someone that does care holy cow when they get the NOD notice its right to the attorney.. 

Report it to the credit bureau as a loss - and they won't be driving a new car, getting a new phone, renting/buying home until they settle with you. 

Hopefully this will be a consistent booking channel going forward.
