I can't think of a tougher way to go about doing business.. by just randomly building lists of peeps you don't know and don't know if they are capable of closing.three tenants of a great salesmen ( of which you need to be)Qualify present Closewhen you just add dead beats to a list that are wanna be beginners or they may have money but will never pull the trigger... you need to Qualify better.you may want to ask for a POF.. a serious investor has the cash sitting in the bank and should share this with you. 

That being said fighting it could net you a couple repairs possibly, but in the long run they are just going to raise the rent anyway.

Also you can present them with comps (taxes) in the area and fight the high taxes.

We can do all the work ourselves and have the tools and capabilities.

So in that case, even as you describe it now, it is STILL capable of fooling most people on their FIRST home purcahse.

Freedomsoft has that capability.

If the market is as hot as you say the builders should be fighting over it.

Leverage the monies depending on your financial capability in obtaining debt (Mortgages).

But I think I've proven to myself and others that I'm no longer the person I was 3 years ago, and that I'm capable of making smarter decisions today. it scares my father and brother to the point where they want to be in control of what I do and how I live when it comes to making a decision like this.

Let them fight over your business.
