To anyone I've ever helped get started I've taught them that transparency is number one when you're looking to work with an agent.I started off as an agent and I used to HATE wholesalers.

I get a little bit if you paying cash.It's funny that's what the Cleveland Bob guy would always say, the net cap fella.

Thanks very much for your responses, guys - really helpful.

Quote from @Sai Paladugula: Hi guys I am new real estate investor.

I think people who dream of never working are blinded by working the wrong job or a job they hate.

Happens every year in wind storms.. but for over hang limbs I just have my tree guy go to the property line and go straight up and cut anything and everything that is over hanging my yard.. in our little berg here Lake Oswego they are Tree Nazi's and you need a permit to take a tree down.. you have to get an arborist to prove its a hazard etc etc..

Sometimes I just need a little confidence boost and you guys helped with that.  

You guys want to invest/retire so the equity can be invested in the next deal.

And I am solely a buy and hold guy.

Hi Guys...1st post, although I've been following BP now for a year.
