It would be great to have a local meet up occasionally.

we usually make our best and final to start but very occasionally will make a slight upward adjustment and one memorable time got annoyed, offered less, & bought the house.

I have been interested in real estate for some 40 years when I acquired my first house and have been buying and selling properties ever since along with doing the occasional renovation. 

Sometimes they fight, other times they just don't care, and occasionally, they slink away with their tail tucked between their legs.

Lenders that I do work with occasionally that may be interested if a particular deal that you present is not appealing to me. 

Occasionally flirting with 10 year terms. :)

The only ones who seem to be successful either have a strong referral business and don't even need to market to buyers or are already agents/brokers who come across the occasional wholesale type deal.Not trying to knock you at all, just giving some food for thought and observations that I've gathered.  

Occasionally I've seen bad cards that are nothing more than "James Bond, Man of Mystery" cards, which are just as bad. 

We have access to a discount properties nationwide, including non-performing notes occasionally.

Maybe check on it occasionally, but don't dedicate any more real time to it.
