I heard they started their own development and RE education firms.

First, we sold our very large two story live in flip to a hedge fund investment firm.  

You need to be very firm, but polite on this request.

Anyone can sue for almost anything, especially with the dam* insurance companies so eager to settle, and since I've been there/had it done to me I'm especially wary.

I’ll also be eager to share the knowledge I gain here on BiggerPockets with the members of the Cooperative.

I work for New Western, we're a large wholesale firm in Houston and that is an incredibly accurate description of the day to day things I hear.I especially like #7 where you mentioned that you should insist on meeting your potential wholesaler at their office- We require investors come to our office first at our firm.

Be Firm, Fair, Swift, Polite, and Flexible.

I am a licensed/certified electrical contractor/electrical inspector with the state of Louisiana and am eager to begin my new real estate investment venture.

I'll be firm with them and tell the lower that he can leave if he thinks that he is being harassed and the upper that if I ever find evidence that he is harrasing the lower tenant that he will be evicted ASAP!  

I looked at him.He must have smelled the self-pity on my face.Here is what just happened to me.I worked for a small firm in Constriction Engineering Products, Johnson Controls, that sold air and water control equipment to large apartment and commercial building contractors.
