I agree, it was my position (still is) that there is more to defining commercial loans than what investors recognize.

My time reading the forums and listening to the podcast has proven very valuable time indeed.A little about me, I had lived in Huntington Beach for many years.

I could look for partners or investors to buy more properties and increase the volume on a proven investment strategy; or use that money to buy a commercial property, leverage it to buy a second, and maybe leave enough money in the flipping business to be able to live off that.

Luckily, the other parties involved, as well as myself, were all very reasonable and after a long negotiation, we agreed on a good price for what I was buying.Deal 2 - Asking price was $ 75,000, I offered full price because it was a great asking price and I didn't want to waste time and potentially get beat out of the deal by somebody else that recognized it as a great deal.  

The way I did this was by building a credible reputation among my peers and having a proven track record that I know how to do this business.
