When the phone rings, ask yourself "How can I convert this lead into a check?"

When the phone ring answer the phone with your complete name or business name and if it is a seller ask the seller when can you stop by and see the property and let the seller know upfront you are not the buyer and you have buyers in your network.I am not bashing just a honest way of doing business.Joe Gore

That sounds, to my non-lawyer ears, like the judge can award up to double the amount of the deposit.

For that responsibility I also have to make my own phone ring, and but the reward is a better compensation plan, IMO. 

Just thought I'd throw my hat in the ring as well!

This is a bird’s eye view of a complicated matter and you should seek professional advice should you choose to proceed.Brandon’s words on the podcasts keep ringing in my head… if asset protection is what is holding you back from investing in real estate, then just create your LLC already … BUT make sure you do it right!

That will get the phone ringing.

Tony: I appreciate you offering your ear.

I have spoken to the realtor, and he said some things that made my ears perk up.

I'm looking in Birmingham proper and inner ring suburbs this fall.
