All this lead me to keep my existing tenant and lower the rent a bit.If you are already at the low end of what is profitable for you, you can easily find good tenants, you have a signed lease which requires compensation if the existing tenant breaks it, and turnover costs aren't high, then I'm with the other guys and would probably not recommend you lower rent.

. - We do require that if you get a lead from us that you will use us as the agent to purchase said property.

LOT's of what appears to be a sketchy leads.

Perhaps a whole saling individual can take the lead and keep me in the loop of the process. 

It's about the right processes, in the right order, to create momentum that leads to consistent closings.This type of hands-on environment is not for everyone..but it is for folks who want to dramatically shorten the curve and avoid lots of trial by fire!.

Not signing could lead to re-doing the closing date, which doesn't benefit anyone involved.  

We have been using alot of spreadsheets and I am looking for an easier to track our leads and our follow up percentages, closed or pending listings etc.

However illegal flipping opens one up to criminal prosecution.All one needs to do is google "illegal flipping" and you will find a plethora of information on the subject, from HUDs 2003 memo and subsequent guidance memos, to Freddie Mac guidelines etc.I think the problem for many on here to understand is that they were not doing business when this was a prevalent occurrence, and the people most familiar with it are probably appraisers, lenders and agents...and less so investors.

My main focus over the next 30 days is to generate motivated seller leads.
