Contractors and developers where building spec homes left and right and not waiting for someone to buy them first before building because they would get sold the second they where finished.

Do you know how to identify electrical issues?

These are typically built with some type of government subsidy or incentive such as tax credits for the developer in exchange for the leasing restrictions.

I personally have one property under management with them and my mentor/development agent has several (30+) with Vista.

Develop a strong plan with timeline, present the deals, and then they'll move forward or not. 

I don't trust anybody now until I can develop a relationship.

So I’d like to develop a local friendship (or two) clearly based on like minded interests.....making money though real estate....bet you guessed that didn’t you.

One of the best ways to get your feet wet in this business (from my experience) is: identifying top producing brokers in your brokerage or geographic area and asking them to have coffee and/or to work their open houses.

If you are going to develop into a full time professional real estate investor you are going to have to develop emotional intelligence along with everything else.

I have successfully bought a 4-Unit from one of my direct mail campaigns, but I still don't quite know what I am doing and would like to develop a more structured system and understanding on the steps I should be taking when taking calls.
