If they don't know what they're talking about on the first impression, then I bet they'll cut corners on the back end, and leave the OP in a massive hole of potential liability (that could have been avoided entirely if the OP just worked with a different experienced investor in the first place).Honestly, I think people work with me for a couple of reasons: the breadth of my operation (14 different states), references (they can call any of my past sellers if they'd like), I cost the seller nothing, I've done over 80+ deals in 8 different states (I market in 14 states, but only have done deals in 8), I am brutally honest with my sellers about everything (which may cost me deals, but I'd rather do business the right way), I am a moderator at my local REIA (and they can see me listed on the website), and other credible interviews I've done that can be looked up online.

The accomplishments you made in 2015 are very impressive and even more so considering you didn't use a single bank loan!

So i was under the impression that i was going at it alone, which i was fine with.

Wow, that's impressive.

Very impressed with the city.Howard

The BP community is pretty impressive.

The other developers I know I don't have as good a relationship with and something this messy seems like a bad first impression.

They sounded so impressive...

This is my first step and I  want to make the right impression.

Since we plan on acquiring a few more properties in the area, we want to make a good first impression and want to make sure that we start off right.
