That doesn’t work for me as my career keeps me busy and the last thing I want to do is jump on a plane to go half way across the country worrying about a few properties.  

Click on the magnifying glass in upper right and type in how to buy in today’s marketCheck BP webinarsNext time don’t sell any properties you’re looking to get rid of, use an exchange, imagine what you would own today. 

The foam on top may look appealing, but the substance is maybe hidden a bit lower in the glass ;)

I have to say this is a little bit ingenious, even though it is obviously fake!.

The front doors are still the same, they have a door lock, they swing back and forth, but the $300k home will have fancy glass in them, and occasionally the cheap one will have bars.The $300k house might have a 50-gallon water heater, or a tankless, which are more expensive than the standard 40-gallon water heater. 

Those two happened to be halfway across the country so unfortunately I cant go to speak with the seller in person, I do certainty see the benefit in doing that though.Regarding the realtor, I always make sure the property isn't listed with a real estate agent, Its one of the first questions on my script.Great point on the last one, Ill give them both a call back and speak with them to see why they backed out and what they really need. 

. -- still, this guy is interested, so I'm just bird doggin this one because it's trash for wholesale.Conclusions: we're halfway through the month so I may get more calls yet, but already looking ahead for better lead capture next month.

Also of note, I am a glass is half-full guy so I tend to focus on what I can get done, not obstacles.
