They will say things like "great question, you are more knowledgeable than most people I deal with." 

That makes people much more willing to engage.Investors aren’t trying to be standoffish — it’s just that their time is worth money, and they’ve usually put in years (and $$$) to gain the knowledge you’re asking for.

We need more people like you in the industry :)First things first, I'm not an expert on sober living.

I know I can find houses that need some work but help me understand why the properties dont cash flow. im looking to get into some brrrr properties I need to get better at analyzing deals for sure, im not an expert but just a beginnDo we have any bay area investors here, someone who would like to connect with me more ?

Quote from @Peter Zynko: 1) get someone with experience on your team, an expert - verify their track record. 2) something invisible might be the politics of the town to get your permits and what ever else approved...partner atleast with your first one with a seasoned operator.  

Perhaps they thought the investors listening in would be so mesmerized by the excel slide showing the potential of a 5.8X multiple in a 3-5 year hold and 80%+ IRR they wouldn't sweat the small details :)  not a tax expert of course..

I just want my house completely free from the listing agreement and be taken off the market so we can find another realtor and continue the selling process...Any insight helps but if you're an EXPERT...

Need your expert inputs
