Hello Lane,In NY, we received notice 2 days ago that Realtors are no longer allowed to cold call indefinitely.Since this is the majority of our 'future' business, the only 'now' business we can generate through phone calls is to people we already know or have already spoken to.That being said, we are ramping up our marketing efforts because incoming leads/inquiries are fair game.

Real estate is not a get rich quick scheme, play the long game and you will win.

Have the Right Partners"Talent wins games, but teamwork and intelligence win championships."

Ultimately it depends on what your end game with the properties is; Cash flow for the long haul vs. a quick(er) turnaround on your capital. 

I heard and read that every house has a deal it’s just a numbers game, so I’m curious where you think the threshold is?

To put the performance of these bonds into context, I feel performance is less FICO driven vs. a combination of skin in the game and experience as you alluded to. 

Knowing your why is going to keep your head in the game when the going gets tough - especially in the tumultuous time we are now in.

Are you playing the long game and not as concerned about cash-flow in the immediate future?

It is a combo of a #s game and generosity. 

We are playing the long game in this business so patience can certainly be your friend.
