If they are home, i want them to say good things... all of which should be true because I try my best to provide a good product and honest business.

It IS NOT your true cash flow.

The same is true for homes with broken windows, lead paint, or a busted roof.

i think the biggest thing is this business is learning the definition of what a TRUE Motivated Seller is. not partial not the tire kickers that what retail.

I tell them I am a part time agent only because of lending purposes, which is true.

I don't know if it was a true story or not.

Actually, it's not misinformation, the claim is most investors hold till death, not sure that's really true, but what Bill stated is true and another point to consider.

And there are plenty of deep pocketed investors out there who will listen to NPR's upcoming This American Life piece on the slumlording professor of Mobile Home University - and instead of wrinkling up their faces in indignation, will instead salivate at a potentially discounted investment class.He appears to be an adherent of classic deep value investing - going back to Graham, and currently espoused by any number of value adherents, perhaps most cogently by Seth Klarman of Baupost Group.The classic value play is to patiently sit on the asset until the market recognizes its true value, the asset price rises (ie cap compresses) and you unlock the true value of the asset you bought so cheaply that you had the "margin of safety" as Graham put it, and Klarman titled his legendary book.But rather than wait for the market to recognize value - Rolfe is trying to teach the market.Rolfe doesn't believe in buy and hold forever - he wants to unlock value and appears to really believe his assets deserve lower cap rates than they are given.I think he is probably succeeding in helping to single handedly move the market.

So true @Jay Hinrichs - after real estate investing the past twenty years - doing commercial, residential, land development, SFR and multifamily rentals - and especially flipping distressed properties (by buying at the auctions - site unseen sometimes - or forming "partnerships" on the court house steps) - you and I have seen about everything!
