Keep in touch and if you get into multifamily down the road keep me in mind as I love sharing information and helping others.

Keep in mind with the market heating up and cap rates compressing, the returns are affected as well.

I also live in the valley and am always happy to network and connect with other investment minded individuals.

Keep all the other expenses in mind like taxes, insurance, vacancies, pmi, etc...

I cannot assume what is in the mind of another human, but whatever his reasons are, he is doing a disservice to his client and therefore is not fulfilling his duties.

Good afternoon BP-I am frequently in contact with a few agents and wholesalers in my area in an attempt to be one of the first investors that come to mind when a deal comes across their desk.

(I get it - I've done this multiple times myself, but you need a friend in the business to write up the bid because they are doing you a favor with no return)If you're able to keep these things in mind when talking to one, you might be able to mitigate some of these obstacles and actually get one out there.

If you genuinely believe that, and it's true, it doesn't sound like he has your best interest in mind...

If you can learn to find motivated sellers in areas buyers want to buy, then it makes the process much easier.

Either way, you are attempting to motivate workers based on behavioral manipulation, which will never drive you to receive the results you desire.
