Make sure you keep them warm by sending emails here and there to them to let them know you haven't forgotten them and when u find that deal, it's not just some random wholesaler trying to get their money.

If you think about if a random person off the street asked you for funds what would you want to see and then make sure you have all those questions answered about yourself and you should be fine.4) Other challenges: Agree with @Chris Low about finding lending for a faster than 6 month seasoning.

The thing that will make you look professional is knowing what you are talking about, if you don't know what you are talking about then an honest business card that doesn't send a message that isn't in line with who and what you really are is going to take you further than trying to use a business card to convey an image that isn't real.

In my previous careers I’ve sold jewelry, and was a land surveyor.In my spare time, which is rare these days, I enjoy hunting, fishing, crafting random furniture my wife wants for her show houses or our home.

It's an area where some struggle (especially in the beginning), but it's certainly overcomeable - and it's something that can definitely get easier when you get more established, learn how to advertise effectively and build up a buyers list.To put it as simply as possible, I'd say it's ultimately a matter of:Buying the right properties in the first place.Offering a compelling price point (which usually isn't hard, if you buy it right).Compiling the information well (with good images and descriptions).Getting your listing in front of as many eyeballs as possible (and keeping it visible).If you're able to, provide the option for seller financing, so buyers have more ways to buy your property if they're unable to get the cash from another source.Does that make sense?

They can remain empty for quite a while, and they are often the "face" of a mixed use property, so if you're ever desperate and take on a less than desirable retail tenant, your whole property will be a reflection of the image that retailer puts out.

Is someone more likely to get approved for a loan through their own bank, or would random banks be just as likely to work with them?
