One I fondly remember was - after putting out post-it notes on doors in a the Phoenix market (using a contractor) - we got a call from a woman that was SCREAMING at us (voicemail) and saying that she now felt that we were stalking her, maybe watching her, wanting her house when she had NO INTENTION of selling it and, now she felt she could no longer stay there, she had called the police to report us, etc.  

And watch out for all the get rich quick gurus and scam artists out there who will tell you it is easy to do.

its a baseball term referring to a pitch that is so low, the batter thinks its a ball, but it just barely comes within the strike zone. the ump calls it a strike and the batter never swings. funny thing about these lowballs that no one swings at........ they never get a home run from them either. as a pitcher, if you never throw a lowball, you never get that strike on the batter. as abat ter, if you do not swing at the low ball, you are never gonna get a hit either. you need to throw that low ball once in a while and see if that batter swings at it. getting started again is hard, but you already know some of the game from trying a previous time. so, you should have less fear going into it this time around. you have watched all the podcasts, read all the books, now get out there and do what you want to do. no one stays in school their entire life, you have to get out there and apply what you have learned or all that learning is useless. get out there. if you fall on your face, then get back up. the only way to learn to do anything right is first learn how to do it wrong. then you know what not to do. good luck to you 

At BP, not only can you network with other investors, you can watch free online videos, learn from the free courses on this site, and listen to BP's podcast in itunes.

I've mostly been an information gathering ninja here, even as of current, but after watching about 2 dozen or so podcasts, one of the reoccurring themes stated is to become one w/ the community n to mingle w/ an empty Heineken in hand (which I hadn't drank) that I will fill up w/ water later.  

After that be sure you track all the feedback and really watch the area.

I rent in Jersey City Heights currently and have been watching listings in the area (the Heights, Journal Sq, Union City, West New York) for a few months.

I have been watching listings in my area and jumped on my first potential deal, a 3 family bank foreclosure.

I'm watching BP podcast 186 and they mention in the begining about BP having a lead handling spread sheet or something of that sort.
