To really contribute here, I think my best bet is to try to remember:a) Not everyone knows what I know-- no matter how basic-- and to try to share detailed information on what I've done as time permits and,b) Remember that it's not just about the nuts and bolts and the how-to, but about keeping the right attitude, and bearing in mind that my own unique way of looking at something and my own attitude and approach to life may be as big an eye-opener to another person as all the specific techniques, and strategies I use.Thanks for your time and have a wonderful biggerpockets dayDitto :beer:

I like your no-nonsense approach without all the motivational stuff.

Have you had any problems using this approach that you could share?

You have a couple of options, but it really depends on how you approach this.

I'm thinking you'd be approaching the illegal stuff that REI talks about using these methods.

I ask only b/c if there are people making $50k on up doing wholesaling, they must be doing a similar approach.

More so if you approach them trying to get a listing and then turn it into a buying situation.

Check in some of the wholesale threads for detailed info on how to structure.I would approach the transaction from the aspect of push come to shove, buy it myself.Again I would ask, why is the seller selling?

When gold approached $850 an ounce back in the late 70s or early 80s everyone was saying that there was no end in sight.

Business card marketing is the most cost-effective, and more importantly, the most easily duplicated means of lead generation today—it is something you can do over and over and over again.In another book I wrote I show you how you can build an army of people who are willing to promote you when approached by someone who needs the services you provide.
