By networking with that investor you can open many doors.

I need some input on good door knocking do's and dont's.

Let me understand this: if you can cash flow at least $100 per door on multi's, or so, you are doing well?

You always want to go thru the agent, but if they are not reasonable in the past I have knocked on the seller's door and told them directly their agent refused to present my offer.

I recently bought a duplex, I live in one side, three college aged men live in the other.The neighbor next door, has complained about the noise they have been making.

If you are a Cash Investor for Rentals, what is a good net price per door $100?

How much investigation of the property and comps does a hard money lender do? Or

I see more clearly that it's not a guaranteed $100 a door, which is what I thought it was at first.

By doing what I have done, walk in the door, association/state approved offer contract in hand, filled out properly and proclaim "I want to submit an offer" No one was returning phone calls.

Then start leaving notes on the door with your contact info letting anyone who checks the property know that you are interested.
