I noticed that I would mail a zip for the first time & would occasionally get msgs "stop sending me your fing postcard!!!!"

If a person has plenty of money they can easily wholesale deals occasionally. 

My sellers are occasionally unhappy with my offer price, not necessarily the fact that we are reaching out to them.

I've done deals on my own and don't "need" the coaching and I don't participate in the classes or coaching other than listening to some past conference calls occasionally or getting the occasional question answered.  

:Originally posted by @Jon Mason:I think it's funny to hear "real" investors say that if they have too much going on they'll occasionally wholesale a deal and they feel they're justified in doing so, but if you're a wholesaler and you do this repeatedly, you're clearly morally bankrupt.The party who generally is damaged by incompetent wholesalers is the seller. 

Landlords of only a few properties that do not require more than collecting rent and facilitating occasional repairs are not considered to be in the capacity of a business.

Economic changes do this occasionally.

I personally believe (and this comes with several years experience glancing at the Google stock ticker and walking by the Cramer show occasionally on in the bedroom) the market wont be spectacular over the next couple years, sub 8% at least, where does a guy put his money? 

I have 7 section 8 tenants now and have allowed the program in my units for about 10 years.Every tenant I've had drama and/or damage and/or the occasional eviction has been a smoker.  

You might be pleasantly surprised by the occasional $100 coming your way from the tenant but I have found that to be the exception rather than the rule.
