Hi Everyone, I've been around BiggerPockets mostly reading for a couple of years now, and although I do have a post or two, I thought I should take a step back and officially introduce myself!

I'm starting to understand a lot of the core concepts introduced in these wonderful forums and podcasts, and honestly a few questions have come up. 1) I would love to learn a few tactics you use in negotiations when putting a home under contract, and what exactly you do when the deal doesn't go your way.2) How would I determine the basis of what a "GOOD" area of town is perfect for Rehabs?

In terms of approaching them, I just knocked on the door and introduced myself.

Quick question: one of the respondent to my post mentioned about introducing myself (the landlord) to the tenants.

I just wanted to introduce myself.

And talk to the lender (ANY lender) about exactly what fees are going to be involved.Jon, my point here is that before ANY paperwork is signed, get an estimate of all the junk fees and procedures BEFORE you close on the deal, this should be step 2 of all the steps involved with any lender, the first being to introduce yourself and discuss your particular solution.

I'll first introduce myself.

Thanks for introducing yourself.
