Hi, this is another aspect of investing in real estate that, to me, is just another number crunching game that has little influence on a buy decision.

The only reason I mention it is that this is the way you get negative influence, and if you're trying to network, you surely don't want that.

If you have disclosed you are an investor and that you intend to make a profit and you have not colluded, influenced or coerced anyone to make false claims or actions, then it is not mortgage fraud.

So,What was 1 book that influenced you the most?

How did you get negative influence points....

Scott pointed out.Finally, I still put forth that the market influences are dominated more by forces outside the industry (jobs, interest rates, Wall Street...)Google Senator Phill Gramm and the Glass-Steagall Act.

I would tend to believe that investors can have a positive influence on prices when they take some of the worst homes and turn them into places fit to live in.

Most of my students notice an immediate gain in influence once they've got their website up and running.

Marc, Glad to hear there are some positive influencers here.

The only problem I see in todays market is that not everyone in a farm can sell to us whereas if I were a Realtor taking listing then most would qualify..There is great residual income in marketing to your center of influence...
