@Mark FergusonI REALLY like your post!

Yeah, we tried one last night and it took nearly all the black marks off the doors right away.

I'm at the point of learning all the acronyms, joining a local real estate investing group, reaching out to potential 'team members', and looking for properties.I listened to my first BP podcast yesterday (featuring Mark Ferguson) - it was informative and entertaining, the rare double threat.I'm looking forward to doing my first deal and moving forward from there!

Recieving emails from investors wholesaling others deals marked up when i received the original email dealsRecieving emails from investors wholesaling deals with under valued repairs.Recieving emails from investors wholesaling a deal with an ARV from a Zestimate only or an ARV twice as much as the highest retail/REO comp in the areaRecieving emails from investors that are already on the MLSStubborn buyers who are in denial about the amount of repairs there property has.Listening to Guru's who say "all you got to do is work for 4 hours a week and make $30,000"1 hour webinars that spend 45 minutes introducing themselves 5 minutes explaining creative investing and 10 minutes pitching coaching and slashing prices
