Early this year I was able to make a $58K wholesale fee and save $15k on taxes because I knew MD tax lien law better than any of the other players.

Along those lines, I saw a sign in the mens' room, that said: "Unless you are a swimmer or a basketball player, wipe the seat".  

One of my mentors was also a school teacher, friend of the family who evolved into a national RE player reaching 9 figures, yes, 9!

@Curt Davis Heres why I think its possible : Big players in Wichita (certain top level real estate agents firms) seem to be buying up a ridiculous amount of good rentals ; I know they aren't doing it the same hard working ways that all of us average investors are because they would be find 30-50 steals per year. 

Are you tired of these big players stealing your leads and selling them back to you?

You are absolutely correct, there are many players.

That's all that i'm trying to show, its not about the labels that we put on each other to close off a discussion without thinking logically about a situation and solve problem.My own opinion on why africans sold each other is no different than the reasons the romans had the coliseum and slaughtered christians and others in their bloody shows that drew people to watch, why do we have football teams based on states, why do we have spelling bee, why do golfers play, basketball players, hockey, gunners shoot?

If you have to guts to make friends with these players, it will make your real estate endeavors much easier.

Dale Carnegie was instrumental, and Zig Ziglar and Tom Hopkins.By the way, I went back to college and finished up my BA, at the ripe old age of 34, played NCAA lacrosse, oldest lacrosse player in the USA playing NCAA, at the time.

I saw it used on one of those TV Flip shows (the football player one, forget his name)... looked pretty solid on TV :)
