I've developed over $100 million in commercial and investment real estate in my career and I've got some unconventional advice you won't hear everyday...if you want to win in an ultra competitive real estate investment market...overpay.  

The way that it works is that they only get paid if they win an appeal.

They appreciate me as owner, Land Lord because I pay them promptly.I pick the battles I can win, do some of the work myself and hire the rest.I do understand how to enjoy my money.

We bid on these properties and we never know what we're going to win, but I can walk you through our due diligence process, our marketing strategy for the properties and some examples of deals that we've done so that you can understand how and when you're going to get your money back.  

I often invest in PG County, but recently discovered a new area, Owings Mills, MD.

Insurance company simply must not be one of the obnoxious ones that refuses to provide their Cost Estimator Worksheet to the lender, so the lender can ensure that the insurance folks aren't doing fuzzy math to bring down the annual premium and win the customer (comes up less than 5% of the time). 

Looked great in the beginning, but after 2 months I discovered it was extremely clunky and didn't fit my personality, but I was locked in for a year @ $39.95/mo.

I occasionally come across some great deals from past clients and I am planning on getting involved with the local investors to create a win-win by connecting homeowners/investors when these off market deals come together.

Persist and you will WIN!

I discovered BP however, and I have never felt so confident about my decision.
