My objectives were:First, put a face and a positive spin on "the man".Second, show the same customer appreciation I would in any other business where customer loyalty is important.Third, celebrate Christmas.I believe I accomplished my objectives. 

While the bank might object and say the rents can be raised, that can't happen until after the $40k in upgrades happen, which is going to be your money and time, not theirs.The monthly payment on a $90k loan balance @ 5% amortized over 20 years is $600, leaving $600/mo cash flow.   

Sean Terry has a great podcast for handling objections that I listened to a few times until I got it.

Most homeowners don't get upset with you making 5k on the deal but once you make double digits they get upset that you didn't give them more for their home 

Low risk, secured investment, passive income, great returns (you can get double digit returns).Cash value life insurance - horrible idea!

I am a digital marketer and am looking to become an REI through the buy/hold strategies, but it might be a few months before I do my first deal.

While I hope the minor mistakes don't detract too much from the book, I plan on putting out a second edition before the end of the year that will fix all of these (and will send new digital copies to anyone who purchased the first edition and wants the updates).

Look at it from an objective standpoint, as in tally up the exact number of books you've read, videos you've watched, etc.

Since I pay these fees in my deals I just tell the occasional seller that objects that if he wants to pay the fees then I have no objections to his selecting the title or escrow company, and guess how many sellers have taken me up on that ?

And part of that is trying to objectively calculate the value of what you are trying to get from the other party.
