What exactly you'd need to "not like" is generally understood to be ridiculously broad in scope, which is exactly why the 6 listings agents would all throw your offer in the trash if they knew you were doing this.Fortunately, or unfortunately, that book and ones like it have gained an incredibly wide readership, now there's however many hundreds of thousands of people near me with "California Money" doing stuff like that, I'm not in your neck of the woods but I can't imagine that listing agents aren't attuned to this sort of shotgun strategy by now.

You can turn on/off whenever you want. in my eyes it is better to spend even up to a few hundred bucks to ensure you arent buying a bad/non-producing property.

That is simply NOT how it works folks, so any use of that stinking thinking, is only going to produce garbage results.   

My name is Kevin " Inky Mann" Holmes.I'm a music producer and host of Inky Mann Show (YouTube).

Looking forward to making some connections and learning from the incredible BP Community! 

Problem is, my agent says in that area there are no flips that can produce and $40-$50k return on a SFR.

During my 100 miler for example, I started dozing while hiking at about mile 85 so my pacer and I had to brainstorm ways to keep me from falling asleep on the side of the trail.It's a really crazy hobby, but it's given me great stories, amazing memories, and incredible friends.

My name is Bianca Sackey and I'm incredibly excited to be here taking this first step in my real estate investing journey.

I’m glad you started this thread, I’m excited to see how others have implemented this. its really amazing how sales techniques work and are needed to close deals if you want to be a top producer. 

If someone has the time and capability to produce returns that said "money guy" feels is fair then it's a pretty fair deal all around IMO.
