URGENT NOTICEI’m interested in BUYING your house located at <<property address>>I’m Daniel with Suncoast Equity Partners and we are a local real estate company that specializes in fast, effortless closing transactions on homes just like yours.As an absentee owner, I’m sure you have experienced some of the many challenges of the landlord business.

I would like to meet and work under an experienced investor who concentrates in rental properties to gain some experience before buying my first rental property. 

I am not new to Bigger Pockets, but I've recently decided to become active, as I believe there's a lot to be learned from the experienced members on this site.

Rafael was right, an experienced real estate agent will be able to better advise you on as-is and full retail market value. 

ALSO: If you're interested in deals in the Clayton/Cole/Whittier/City Park North area I'm an experienced Door Knocker/Marketer and would love to be your wholesale huckleberry.

However, at your experience level, you may want to team up with an experienced wholesaler in your area to help you work your leads when you get them so that you handle them properly. 

It's great to have experienced folks join the site!

I don't know your experience level, but if you are surprised, it means that she is not very experienced in sales or the business world and should have taken more time to learn about you, but that doesn't make her dishonest, just sloppy.She is entitled to her commission, and moreover, she probably has to charge one because the broker where she parks her license will probably impute one whether she charged you or not. 

I totally agree, and that's why I joined Bigger Pockets--to learn from experienced investors such as yourself (in addition to my personal studies and research).

What I have experienced is that most databases for foreclosures like Realtytrac, Zillow, and others are very unreliable and out of date.
