Identify a project or perspective property and know it inside and out top to bottom before you bring it up.

Stockton form a price perspective is great.

My past dealing with REA's didn't expose me to these types of purchases.The material is like a good book, I can't put it down now.Would love the communities perspective.

The earlier you start investing, the better you will be from compound and accumulation perspective.

From an income perspective, the picture doesn't look good either.

They will understand your perspective much better than someone who only does loans.

Give the seller (or the buyer) the freedom to say “No.”This is written from the perspective of an investor with the intent to get a great deal on a property.

@Bob Bowling Thanks for your perspective. 

All I will say, is that I have been investing full time for 12 years now, and sometimes two investors have disagreements, two investors see things in a different perspective, and have two different sides, both partially right and both partially wrong.I think that @Larry Fried is a great guy, and will have a successful career in REI.

Investors will look at this to be sure that they're not overpaying relative to comparable properties but other metrics are more useful from an investors perspective (ROI, cash on cash, IRR, ect).
