I never make a loan, no matter the equity position, that the past actions of the borrowers lead me to wonder if they will be likely to pay me back. 

It goes as follows. 1. usually I let all leads go to voicemail.

Unfortunately, there are times when being accommodating and making exceptions can lead tenants to take advantage of the situation.

This will lead to many of the professionals in the same industries who already are not doing that well to fall out of competition and hence be "replaced'.

However, that will likely lead to increased turnover and increased vacancy time in between tenants.

I've only ever sent out an offer like that once, and that was to a preforeclosure lead that refused to discuss the property, instead telling me "that's not how real estate works, just make me an offer".  

It will likely be a web of contractors, engineers, and architects, but some those are ultimately leading to the developer. 

You can lead a horse to water but you can't make the horse learn math.

when these companies don't communicate in a timely that leads investors to worry many time unnecessarily  if they just got ahead of it instead of working form behind..  

I know a broker who spends like 20k - 30k per year in buying leads, paying for blast emails, buying lists of names of investors, etc.I like to meet people on the personal level first, I feel like people are way more responsive if at first I help them by answering questions, or offering advice, provide them with incite, etc.Most people do not know what they are getting into in those first deals, which is why we hear so many nightmare stories.
