Don't mean to rain on your parade but.......when is this "decent market" going to arrive by your estimation?

• What is your sales price and how did you arrive at it?

I would rather do less volume and more fatter deals and arrive at close to the same place with more time for myself and my family to enjoy life versus working endless hours.This type of thing with charges could take many years to resolve.

I don't make a copy but I verify a few items on the application form against their drivers license.I don't do cookies and milk but I do put out a dozen or so chilled bottled water for them.I arrive an hour early to turn AC down to 74 degrees and to open blinds and draperies to get as much natural light as possible into the house.I will lit a very mild scented candle.At times I debated if I should put a tip jar on the kitchen counter and put in a few $5s and see what happens.If the interest is very keen I will offer for them to hold the property with a reserve property form.

I'm going to include those recommendations in my arrival message if it looks like there may be snow in the forecast. 

I would also like to meet some more seasoned investors once I arrive, so any recommendations for mentors or group meet ups in the area would be very helpful.  5).
