So SolarCity broke ground the other day for a new 5 Billion dollar project building a manufacturing site that will bring 3k plus jobs to the area.

Eventually, I hope to phase out the lawn care biz. 

Seminars are often free and although they usually have at one if not a few selling pitches to the audience its a good networking ground to shake a few hands with a smile and talk shop.

We all have the inter-web so while you can help anyone you will bring the most value if you can be "boots on the ground" to help with some of the in person stuff.  

If I bought it subject to, assuming he has a 5% loan, I could pay $80-$81K and still wholesale it for $5K.But I'm not in your market and my buyers don't buy where you are.As for his asking price, every time a seller tells me what they want, I think about what I want; and that is to wake up and find a brand new high end sports car sitting in the 5 car garage of my 5,000 sq/ft house with a large in-ground swimming pool (I don't really want any of that, but it is just to prove a point).

Usually there is then someone who is their on the ground representation. 

Eyes, ears, on the ground property tours, property photos, videos, and some local market expertise.

I just relied on pictures from my person on the ground.

Next time a neighbor approaches you about a problem try and find some middle ground so they don't lawyer up.  

Legally, they'd have no grounds, but when it comes to pissing off a customer, sometimes legal grounds are irrelevant.
