Some investors don't have the time, expertise, or desire to put the required amount of energy into building savings for their future. 

So although I have only received 1 opportunity, I think every broker should do cold calls simply because it puts their sales skills to the test.I think where most people go wrong when calling is their energy level and confidence.

Unless you are already personally in a top income bracket, or your funding is coming from a source other than your personal capital, there is typically little motivation to incorporate in the beginning.It would be best to put together a bullet-form list of your near, mid and long-term goals and spend a little money to sit down with an accountant and attorney who can assist you in selecting an ownership model that fits your short term needs, but that can easily (and with little tax consequences) be evolved to meet your longer term requirements.If you do hold property in a corporation, residential financing will continue to be based off your personal income and credit and you will be required to provide a personal guarantee. 

Why don't you sell it, and educate yourself in energy stocks.

@Tj Hines I like how you answered in bullet form. lol.

Do you really want a potential law suit to consume your energy when instead you could be looking at ways to increase the utilization and cash flow.

As long as it's a good deal and you make money, I'd advise not spending any energy caring about whether other people made money too.

My seller still got screwed, but was willing to bite the bullet as he had another property under contract that his wife was in love with.In a cash purchase all of those issues go away, so the sale is a lot more likely to succeed.The one thing a seller doesn't want is to have the house go under contract and then for the sale to fail. 

I spent time working out a deal that makes since for the seller, I've done the numbers - meaning that's alot invested a lot of time and energy just to hand it over to someone I've never even spoken with.FYI: "Give me the address," is NOT a request.

I'd rather spend ALL of my energy on the highest and best use of my time.
