I would venture to say that 95% of properties listed today on the market will not cash-flow at a 7-8% investment interest rate once you factor in principle, interest, taxes, insurance, and a maintenance / capex reserve.  

Truthfully, running a company and REI use the same principles in many ways.

Security, keep your resume updated, keep your sense of employment work ethic and skills or associated licenses, certifications in case you want or need to go back into the job market.

That's pure slime.Save your time and do something legal and ethical to save for a down payment.

The reason you are not having luck is because a very obvious logic yet completely ignored principle real estate investors refuse to acknowledge.Here goes.NOTHING can target motivated sellers.No list, no gadget no software no "Deal Machine", no propstream no NOTHING!

These are professionals with additional training and a stricter code of ethics.

I personally welcome the feedback as it can only help me become better at this.I think there needs to be a degree of fairness/ principle here though.
