@Michael Pease, @Meghan McCallum and @Kenneth E: I used to attend "Country's" Real Estate Investor Meetup in the QC and was surprised by the number of people working there!

You can ask for the schedule E of his tax return, which should verify how much income/expense he is claiming- but if he has more than one property it might be hard to figure out what's what.

I feelww e are so close to the finish line that i dont want to give up.

@Stephen E. - the explanation from the technician makes sense.

@Craig E.

We are looking for investor friendly agents who can bring great deals to the table without us not looking at any MLS automated e-mail listings that are market value.
