I just don't want to invest too much time and energy into a practice that doesn't bear fruit if there is an alternative. 

This guy is nuts... should I be concerned that he has my social security #, personal info, etc. from my credit check??

I doubt the agent would mind.May be the agent doesn't feel like she is being taken advantage or she is wasting her time.that's about 1 close per 100 written offers. 100 houses toured.In this asset class the commission would be closer too $5k a month.That's nuts.

I am constantly reinvesting in building lots that I pay cash for.. or other low hanging fruit.

New his and hers bathrooms.Bart's Factory by Charles_DeckerYeah, it's in somewhat of a ghetto area, and my GF is going nuts on me about it.

We were presented with a chance to buy undeveloped acreage neighboring my partner's cousin's house, where we could eventually continue the vegetable and fruit business once we have enough other income coming in from other businesses.

Then I found out the deal was under contract, which was what I really needed to dash my love affair with the forbidden (or more realistically, rotten) fruit that was that deal.I learned a lot so far from this process, I learned that I need to get my financing figured out before finding the next property, and that I need to always trust at the numbers.I still have a goal of buying the first deal by the end of the year to get the train rolling and chugging along towards my goal.I’m eager to meet new people and learn as much as I can. 

If you go to "properties" and search for "Fruit Tree" in properties, you'll see my BP listing.
