For that reason and the fact that even someone degreed in finance or accounting, you really aren't qualified to step into the shoes of a registered mortgage broker and servicer without experience.

If you guys could go back in time towards the beginning of your REI journey and were in my shoes what would you do?

As I read those two suggestions, I realized the common theme between them is the idea of empathy: put yourself in that target market's shoes, and ask yourself "what would I care about if I were them?"

I'm getting excited imagining myself in your shoes.

We were about 2 days from closing, and the seller found someone else and sold it behind my back.I can't say I was surprised (I probably would've done the same thing in his shoes), but it was more a feeling of sorrow over "what might have been" if the deal had just gone through as planned.Oh well - we all live to find another deal another day.

If I were in your shoes, I would be OK with little to no cash flow on that property in exchange for allowing a renter to pay off that loan. $6000+ per year in principal pay down is nothing to sneeze at.....so long as you aren't in need of the immediate cash.

In your shoes ... well, I'd not be contending with 1.5m of snow, but that's another story...  

It is a place for them to showcase their latest deal before it goes on the market.https://www.facebook.com/groups/DealMakerSessions/

Is this the approach you would take if you were in my shoes?
