Yep.To some extent, this just seems the nature of the beast.

I would just talk about stuff in a general nature and meet with people PRIVATELY if they want to talk specifics.

Though I understand the complex nature of needing to keep the tenant comfortable with their position in the home, I would be hesitant to represent yourself as an insurance agent.

The Commission found that, while notregistered as a securities dealer or salesmen in Arizona, Hogan and Damitio pooled the money of at least32 investors and promised them an investment return from the development of oil and natural gas wellson a Native American reservation in Montana.

Because of the highly technical nature of these instances, I will not go into them here, but suffice to say that if the law firm handling the foreclosure does not provide notification to all the correct parties requiring notification, a lien can survive foreclosure.

You could probably learn in a house or two what goes into the overall nature of a house painting and then you can begin to solicit your own work.

Just avoid the irrational peaks like we experienced during 2004-2007 and you will do ok in California over the long run (I sat on the sidelines from 2002 until 2009 because values were over-inflated and out of control).Naturally, I can't speak about other markets, and that's probably why I haven't invested in any other place... yet.P.S. - Getting back to my parent's house, look at the difference only 7 years made between when they bought and my friend's dad did.

John whether you realize it or not the delivery of what you are saying on the phone and pitch is just as important as the words themselves.You need to practice tone on the phone and video tape yourself giving a presentation in the house.I did this work years ago and now it is natural for me to talk on the phone and meet people in person.It flows now and is not forced.With anything in the beginning you will be really rough at it.Listen for key words on the phone for high motivation.Job loss,divorce,death,sick family,facing foreclosure,having babies and need more space,selling to free up capital,job transfer,getting married,executor of an estate,out of state investor etc.etc.Low motivation:1.Just seeing what the market will bear2.Waiting for my price 3.Need XXX to pay my bills4.Need larger house if I can get XX for thisand on and onEventually they might have life circumstances that change them to motivated but today they are not.Stay in contact because you never know.
