I did a test on the FSBO list the other day, called 50, got 2 appointments set and some other stuff(like yeh well pay you if you bring a buyer..)RANDOM: About 15K+ in my county that arent on the DNC list.

The financial side is more intense and lending parameters are different.

Great opportunity to test the waters as to selecting the avenue to take.In that light, might as well mention that NPNs usually aren't for newbies, your being an attorney gives you a much greater insight I would think.

If you search here on BP, you will find lots of intense discussions on CAP and other rule-of-thumb ratios.Sadly, in our markets these days we are finding far to many multi-unit residential buildings which are underperforming (the cash-flow is less than its potential), yet the owner expects to be paid for the "potential" cash-flow, rather than what s/he is producing

Everyone does.The guy told me that their company had done extensive research and testing on the conversation rate of people who left a message vs. people who reached a live person.  

It's very intensive, you'll learn a lot, and I know many who have taken it.

@Leslie Phelan   true foreclosure buying and flipping is capital intensive to the extreme...IE buying at court house steps auctions rehabbing and reselling.I like your idea to work for a company that does this and learn the ropes and make contacts and get paid to learn.YOu may want to get a RE license as well..

Also, if the tenant keeps talking about it then it is a problem and they could just be testing how proactive you are.

Yes, but from what I see, most wholesalers couldn't pass a test, even if they do get all the questions to study, multiple guess, instead of memorizing the answer they'd  memorize the letter to the right answer that's less trouble.That's the attitude of most in RE, it is a self regulated industry, if you don't then Uncle will. :)

I'm going to RUBS the new tenants slowly while I test the market.
