I don't want to give a bad impression and "shoot myself in the foot" by coming off too aggressive.

I am working with Final Cut Pro for video editing (big learning curve there) and am educating myself on how to shoot better quality video with by using the proper lighting, incorporating green screens, ect.....We have a long way to go, but the plan is to get this up and running in the 2nd quarter.

josh, continue to look for a 30 year. i find it surprising you hare having difficulties locating a lender. that's all i'm seeing around me....i also agree with the advice to shoot low. the worst that happens is that they say no!

They shoot well and are learning to shoot early for a change.When Israel comes off the oil-standard, oil's going backto "affordable to EVERYBODY", after which we'll again forget we're buying 70% of ours from folks who only want us dead.Interesting times ahead - Beware The Ides of March will again be time-stamped for future historians to note to their students.

:shoot: I like properties where my wife would not be afraid to pick up the rent.....well, at least during daylight hours!

Learning to shoot weapons.

I'd rather shoot myself....lol

If interest rates shoot up like the late 70's and mortgages are at 15-20% wouldn't that deflate the RE market further?

While creating a social rapport really shouldn't help in theory, in reality if the guy likes you, he'll do his best to help you out (in other words, make sure he knows what price you're shooting for).In fact, you should take the opportunity to pull comps that you help your case, and have those avaialble for him when comes to the property.
