Hey there,I'm a custom home builder and remodeler in the greater Washington DC area.

Callers are customers, and I want to get as many in as possible so that we can sell them on our unit, rather than coming across as some nit-picky landlord who's probably going to be a pain to deal with. 

Another reason we chose our marketing company is for their great customer service and accessibility.

no, there were not special forms needed. the canadian couple did not, of course have american social security numbers, but they were able to use canadian i. d. in place of that without issue. they purchased the house i sold them and others that they currently own in much the same manner as an american citizen does. i would have to agree with josh, it would be best for your friend to invest in an area of the U S that he can travel to easily. here in buffalo and the western new york area, the couple from canada that i speak of live in toronto which is about 90 miles away. pretty much an easy trip. of course you have to go thru customs on a regular basis which can trigger intrest from them because of the frequent trips, but once they get to know you and the issues that are a part of the reason for the frequent trips, its not a problem. 

A customer is cleaning out their wallet end of the month.

The reason being he didn't want to piss off any potential customer.

I'm an electrician I would have no problem an hour or less explaining how to find customers for my business.

I don't have plans on giving up on LoopNet,  I wanted a better understanding to the label that it has.

I went through this last year when I got back into flipping houses and one of the revelations to come from it were that my "customers" are not really the folks who end up buying my rehabbed house--even though they're the ones paying--but the realtors showing the house. 

My father and I work together building Brand new Luxury custom homes in the million dollar bracket.
