I'm wet behind the ears but I'm home for Christmas and I have one family member looking to buy another property here(he's the one that got me into the whole real estate idea).

It is not uncommon for me to get an alert at 3Am and get up, research it and email an offer to the seller or even ring them.People are also used to me checking my phone a lot of an evening.I would say this is getting me an additional deal a week.So my question is am I a crazy flipaholic who needs to get a life or is this just what you need to do to succeed?

Inspector's words are still in my ears: "They complain about every little hole int he wall, but they are just happy cooking with a hot plate and microwave.

Also I'd be interested in how you see the ethics pushing a property that's not really for sale to make the phone ring.

I would be the hard money lender and charge an appropriate percentage (if anyone can suggest what sounds reasonable for this, I'm all ears) for my risk and opportunity cost, his company would be paid as if they were hired, and then we'd split what was left.

Other than that, I'm not sure what else to do other than continue my path of pestering them ears for answers/updates.I'm looking into it at the moment!

Everybody will see it all along (any change and the neighbors can let you know), and it will keep your phone ringing (so you can fill any vacancy faster too).

Im hoping the phones will be ringing within the next few days based of the 900 list mailer.

He did it for a year and got no deals out of it.So when you go around ringing doorbells, knocking on doors, be aware of these regulations.

Easy to get your phone ringing with motivated sellers once you learn how to reach them!
