Telling people it makes a lot of money doesn't mean anything to a real investor.

I look forward to engaging with this forum, learning from all of you, and contributing to the collective knowledge and success of our community.Best regards,Neil

Found out we were being lied to throughout covid by one of their office people , Kayla, (because we couldn't get hold of Terrance, btw) about our tenant not paying rent. 

Most people will take a solid cash offer over financing.

i think that's 3 more than a lot of people make before they get frustrated and stop.so keep going.

It's easy to tell the difference.Too many people think of these forums as a scratchpad for their ideas at the moment, but a one-sentence question is unlikely to get the best answers, and that should be what you are looking for.

@Alex Johnson Detroit-Michigan falls in the middle of the pack regarding "tenant-friendly".As you start to build your Core Four, NEVER believe what people tell you unless they can explain it logically or provide 3rd party proof.Here's 3rd party proof that Michigan is in the middle of the pack:)https://realwealth.com/learn/landlord-friendly-states/https://www.lawdistrict.com/articles/most-renter-friendly-us...

Hi @Rodney Swindle,To answer your first question, appreciation is based on how people value the property.

Negotiation made a lot of things possible.Someone told me, "This is simple; these people are beginners."

I look at the vehicles, are they 20 year old economy cars on their last legs, or are they newer vehicles that people are making payments on at a legitimate car dealership vs a buy and pay here joint.
