Are you actively investing in RE or starting?

I think that approach will be more effective than trying to come up with one on your own.The scripts you can find from professionals online are scripts that have been tested and tweaked after hundreds & thousands of calls.Use search engines and reach out to active wholesalers to find the right one for you!

@Jeff Ashton My wife, Liz Bobeck, and I are active investors here in Jacksonville.

I recommend reading and being active on MyFico.com.

@Dimitri Bernado You have to determine how active/passive of RE investor you want/can be, pick a niche within RE investing, learn as much as possible about it, network with other investors, and start investing. 

My RE Agent noticed that the listing was changed from "Active" to "Active - No Showings" on TREND. 

Are you seeing similar things to two years ago when this thread was active?

I am also assuming your RE investment activity actually qualifies for the deduction. 

I've had a student tenant question the internet as well but in this case the internet had gone out and I actually believed he needed it for schoolwork, not recreational activities, so I felt very bad. 

What role do you envision playing in the ongoing activities of the investment?
