To much is when you dont feel safe/comfortable on the street after you have researched the crime statistics and have walked/driven the neighborhood enough to get a feel for the area, ignoring how you feel when your inside the house. 

@Jason A. and anyone else in the know, I am in a similar boat, in need of an independent, trustworthy home inspector.  

Nik,I've been to club sponsored meetup groups and independent meetup groups.  

Just curious: those statistics and leads come from letters only or cold calling as well? 

If they had the ability to get a mortgage independent of me, I most likely would just sell to them as long as the agreed to price was more than I paid for the house.My main concern then would be avoiding taxes and trying to do a property exchange after selling.Thoughts?

Though I give comps, I assume they're being verified independently by the buyer or buyer's agent and would never want an investor to go off my info alone.

I know this is where a lot of people give up and I don't want to be that statistic, even if I fail.  

Hello,  My name is Josh Kettell and I'm the broker/owner of an independent real estate brokerage company located in Montrose, Colorado. 

I use to work for corporations (i.e. in-house) and made the leap a few years ago to becoming an independent broker and I absolutely love it!
