At the time I knew absolutely nothing about investing and I thought it was brash and unprofessional to just text someone for 10k randomly.

and he was very brash at first so wanted to get to know him better.

I always had a great experience with Bryan Ward and O’Donnell Lee in Waterville.  

(He very brash and aggressive and wants to control the conversation)My assumption is he’s tried to sell the property before and was offered 80K because he keeps throwing that number around as what he would never take.He claims it’s a 3/2 ranch that’s vacant and sits on 5 acres of land that he owns free and clear of any mortgages or issue with liens or taxes.

@Bill O'Donnell.

@Bill O'Donnell I've worked in the insurance industry and have only dealt with TAPCO and Loyds of London for surplus lines.

Hey @Bill O'Donnell.

Be prepared to give up a decent share of all of this, while still making yourself some money, to bring them in and gain the experience so the next time you are in a better position to act on your own.Sorry if that's a bit brash, I don't see the value in spinning speculative wheels.  

Joe Gore Oh Joe, I enjoy your brash commentary.Seems like a broad and unquantifiable statement for the most part.

I hope I don't come off as brash, but my first instinct is that the rent is either too high or the condition of the unit is of lesser standards to your competition.
