I have my Purchase and Seller Agreement, Affidavit of Equitable Interest Contract and a Bird Dog/Independent Contractors Agreement (I have someone wanting to send me smoking hot deals but wants to know I wont screw them over).

that's a tiny lot. i am amazed that people wont come in and tell you "well, i want a bigger yard for the kids to play".

It's kind of a catch 22 that leaves the big players having the advantage: you can't get units rented if you don't have rental applicants coming to your website and you also wont have landlords interested in posting without a large flow of interested renters checking out your listings..take a look at rentlinx.com- they seem to have perfected your model and chose to aggregate all of the major players through a single posting. this way, the landlord doesn't have to worry about which sites are being visited since they are posting at all of them.

Someone out there will always rent to them and all you can do is hope they put you down as  reference ( which they wont most likely ).  

Well so much for trying to message you, BP wont let me send you a message.

Bottom line: stop complaining that there are no deals vs. work your @$$ off to find good ones, as well as whining that you get a lot of ill-repute people trying to scam you (BTW, you can't be scammed if you're educated in the process), vs. work you @$$ off to build more positive business relationships- either way, it is important that one's arrogance (or ignorance, depending on your point of view) is considered for making money at the end of the day.... everyone's NOT for everyone, periodSomeone important in the forums made a good point that the industry as a whole suffers as the result of negative business practices; it also suffers from the lack of mentorship and community.To YOUR Success, Phillip L Lyde  

I would have to agree with @Matt Devincenzo This is why many people wont put some random person it touch with my private lenders as most of my private lenders will only make loans to people they have a history with.  

@Rhett Tullis - I also worry that i wont even get a shot because of the 'owner occupant' period.

They usually keep their own space clean but the common areas suffer.  

Numbers typically wont work because properties are too expensive.
