As soon as the government returns to the rule of law, and the enforcement of contracts made in the good faith of our government, the entire Real Estate game will be a free-for-all!

It doesn't put good faith that you will stick to contracts without a professional representing you, gives off wholesaler vibes which most educated sellers know typically waste their time and don't actually close. 

There is an old saying: he who is faithful with little will be faithful with much.Get your personal financials straight so you are 100% debt free (except for your personal residence) and then start to invest.

You just restored my faith in the BP community.

Since I care about my reputation and I have assets to back my word and my word on paper, I am a candidate that a sub2 seller can have faith in the fact that I would perform to preserve the hard earned reputation I created over an almost 30 year period.

That way it’s not a situation where you’re putting blind faith in your team member.

Additionally, is this an area/market you have faith in and is likely to appreciate?

Anya,Congratulations on taking the leap of faith.  

@John Baker You need to have faith brother, I started out about 9 months ago with my first unit, then dry for a few months, now I'm almost rolling on 6.
