How important are negotiation techniques vs. being at the right place at the right time for a motivated seller?

If you think you can be an effective networker solely by engaging in social media, you're sorely wrong.

It's really fun getting started and learning about different areas and techniques.

I have a great social network and I always do my best to expand it.

If you're getting an A from your tenant, you are spending far too much time socializing with them and being their whipping boy.

We all have heard "Time is Money" and that can literally be true. My question is, if you are looking at a deal that you plan on wholesaling or Wholetailing, whichever the case may be, how do you decide if the deal is ...

I prefer aggressive agents that reach out to me and are savvy with social media.  

I don't do any of that and just log in to sites directly.There use to be a service where you could log into all your social networking sites in one shot but they would always have issues with the sites syncing up etc. and I found it too much to keep up with.These days I just have a few sites I keep a presence on and forget everything else.

To invest in another country you want to be comfortable first and foremost with that nation's stability, socially and economically (currency).

If they can't take notes or don't have a pen or a memory, not sure I need to hear from them.Besides, I can use them in social settings as well, my world doesn't revolve around a business deal. :)
