As with so many things in life, the answer to your investing problems are completely counter intuitive to what you think that they are.I have spoke with Hundreds and hundred of wanna be investors and I can tell you in 99% of the cases the trouble has nothing to do with:The Real Estate Market...The amount of buyers in the market...The prices rising or falling...The amount of information that they've studied....Whether or not you have a business card...Whether or not you send post cards...Whether or not you have a good Realtor...Whether or not you have cash...Whether or not you have credit....Wanna know why most newbie investors fail?

I know it sounds counter intuitive to call up your “competition” but you would be surprised what you can find out.

i think you have to know your buyer in this situation, like every sale situation, and use your intuition along with obvious cash, willingness on buyer to make their obligation, references, and work history, and perhaps that mighty score.best success,sage

Seems like the most counter-intuitive rule ever IMO.Anyways,  I've been doing my research. 

While my recommendations below may seem non-intuitive to designers, I set this up all the time for my clients and am constantly testing with a lot of money.1.
