It is awesome to interact and meet with other like minded individuals looking to create wealth and dictate life on their own terms instead of suffering by being trapped in the rat race!

Also, government interaction is a big one.

@Bryan LaFor us, the first step in screening is the initial phone call and in-person interaction when they tour the property.

Thanks for having me, I look forward to interacting and hopefully meeting awesome, like minded people!

You just never know what is going to happen, is the buyer telling you everything, did you miss some defects (heating, asbestos, roofing issues, title issues, zoning..... etc).The pressure you put on yourself is great, now that you made a decision to make an offer, you now have to perform, you need to know that the decision you made to buy a property comes with lots of details to get it from offer to settlement or assignment and pick up your check.We as investors expose ourselves to lots of personal obligations, making the deal work, confidence in our action, title work, financing, second stage negotiations and personal interaction with everyone associated to making your transaction work.Charles Parrish

We tend to get what we expect and if you are expecting more of the positive interaction with your current agent, then you will experience more of the same.  

When it comes to work, I have no problem with interactions.

Then you can use leverage and deprecation to your advantage moving forward.If you are looking to move your 401K and keep it in the equities markets I highly recommend transferring it to an Interactive Brokers account and then buying some REITs with it. 

Less of a salesman feel to the interaction.

You will get a lot LESS people, but might find that on average you are only interacting with people that you want to interact with.Check out this thread from two years ago for an example of that: https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/52/topics/476093-how-we-screened-300-tenants-with-zero-phone-calls-for-free Between this thread and that thread, it's apparent that it's a dial you can turn left or right.
