Honestly, there are a LOT of people here on BP that have served as essential connections and partners whom guided me through my first few deals.

@Caleb Mclamb To be honest, I cannot speak to the split, as we've never had partners.

It's the "crowd" who will also keep them honest, as this thread is doing exactly that.

With that attitude (an honest want to help someone, not just something i say to feel good about myself) i feel as though i SHOULD be marketing to owners with back taxes.

Sure, there's a lot of similarities between proposing a sandwich shop business or proposing a real estate company, but the way to grow and expand a sandwich shop is relatively easy to grasp onto, whereas real estate for many people is more difficult to comprehend - partly because there isn't a "trending sandwich market" in the same sense that there is a "housing market" and also partly because despite the fact that many other businesses equally rely on loans and leverage, real estate quite honestly is probably a more debt heavy business than other small business ideas and a lot of people still have a lot of fear regarding these collateralized house of cards that fell apart during 2007-2008 housing crisis.Now, that's the reason I think many of the people I talk to have so many apprehensions, so I basically take those apprehensions and in a more concise manner than what I just did, basically explain to them that housing is a service, just like any other service and it's something that people are willing to/have to pay for.  

Even one CPA says to go to a real tax CPA because honestly he doesn't know.

Section 8 is good for low income properties because it keeps tenants honest most of the time.

I have been through a couple very slow patches and I can honestly say that just putting your head down and pushing through works.

So it honestly has nothing to do with the market.

(If sent before 7 EST)I need to know WHAT is not the norm - e.g (can't show income, filed Bandruptcy two days ago, switched jobs -different industry)If you have those one offs and truly need an honest opinion if the deal can work or not...just shoot me an email.
