Don't wait to "think about it", don't sleep on it, don't go get a haircut or have a beer with your buddies.

Google "Section 8 government shut down" and read the stories from several years ago.Another good search is "Section 8 haircut". 

You essentially are asking the Mortgagee to take a haircut so YOU can make a killing.

Your asking the first to take a haircut but not the second?

Of course, you are also asking him to take a 25% haircut to sell his properties to you, and even then at current rent levels the property doesn't look like it would be generating any profits.What do you think @Zach Schwarzmiller ?

So long as you find a way to add value in excess of your fee, you will do great ... this is true in any profession.I'm curious to here Ross' response to your other question, but I generally don't ask my barber if I need a haircut.

So he's willing to take an 18% haircut to avoid paying a 5 or 6% realtor commission? 

In purchasing you have little to use, as a refinance you provide the AIrbnb/Verbo statements for 12 or 24 months and they are averaged and given a haircut. 

But like @John Thedford said you usually have to take a haircut with a sale like that.

You can invest in his students' deals w/o paying to join his program, or you could invest w/ Diversified Metroplex Investors (DMI), but you'll take a 15% haircut off the top for commissions, which can quickly get more expensive than our "little club".Are you an accredited investor?
