Spoke to the owner of holdfolio he spoke from 3 sides of his mouth ..thats the impression I got..

Now I'm happy to say I have come out on the other end a happier man.

If YOU aren't afraid of the property then don't let a big mouthed neighbor impact your bottom line.

As far as finding good contractors, word of mouth is always a great way to find out about good contractors; people who have a good experience (or bad) will always be willing to tell you about it.

I will lay out our process and hope that answers your question.Almost all of the deals we are doing are word of mouth referrals.

I am exhausted of your loud mouth and hollow ideas, statements, facts, notions, posts....The Big Short, yes is a movie, about actual people, events and actions.

@Brittany Baker My uncle used to say “You can make your mouth say anything.”

I'm not trying to time the market.Where did you get "sticking said family member" when I mentioned renting the place back from said family member, giving them all the tax benefits of depreciation, and a rock solid tenant in myself with $120k in cash to pull through the downturn.Where did you get "unethical" or "fraud" when I mentioned selling a property I own to someone I know, having them occupy for a year under the terms of the FHA loan legally, and then renting it back from them.If you're going to argue with me at least do me the courtesy of not putting words in my mouth.

This approached worked for them and I couldn't be happier for them, but if I told everyone that they had to buy a 100+ unit for their first deal, most wouldn't get started. 

At worst, a good agent should recognize and admit that dealing with investors isn't for them and refer them or tell them "no".An investor that knows what they want, should be able to quickly screen agents that are better suited for owner-occupant sales and not waste their time.If we all put a bit of this into practice, we'll all have happier Holidays:)
