I was a NCAA athlete in lacrosse, and I had an ex Marine coach in high school. If it was not for that hard nosed coach, I would not have done well at NCAA.And I got out of Boot Camp Parris Island SC alive too!In the REI business, you have to tell the seller how life is. Agents - Realtors want the sales LOW to make a living. We REIs give Sellers another way - Sub2, Land Contract, Wrap - AITD, Lease Option, or even Cooperative Assignment (You lease option as principal then assign the deal to a Tenant Buyer with a 3% fee, no license needed).I can't write as well as Jason, but I coach REI 1 on 1. Being a REI Coach is DRAINING, cuz you dont know the truth of what the student trully feels, even if you ask, and as a coach can not inspect the activity (calls, objection handling, closing, etc). But you do your best.Jason, keep up the great work, as I am a fan.All the best to you,Best Wishes,Brian Gibbons, REI Coach since 1986 What kind of RE Coach do you want?

I think the majority of us lead multi-faceted lives which include either another job, or family. Your list is extraordinarily aggressive and I have no doubt if somebody can find the time to do what you suggest in that list, they will be successful. I do wonder how many hours you have in your day though? =) I assume this list you created is for FULL TIME+ investors.

This business becomes "easy" once you start marketing consistently and never stop. I follow up with my absentee owner leads a total of 8 times. I know that 99% of investors don't do this, which is why those of us who send out mail 24/7/365 never have to worry about our next deal. Josh-Thank you so much for the kind words.
