When we start looking for investment properties, we will send a more professional letter that clearly identify us as investors and emphasize the benefits (cash offer, quick closing, no hassles with listing it or having to do updates). 

@Scott Lepore where I agree very strongly with you is that it is not as it is promoted most often, as it seems to be under emphasized the difficulty level it can be due to the exact recipe that must be followed. 

How can I delicately propose that if he were interested, to potentially sell directly to me and emphasize that we could avoid the realtor fees in doing so? 

Yes, they generally have a more comprehensive checklist in the written report but I like to make sure to emphasize the main ones.

Be sure to screen tenants, can't emphasize it enough.Wish you the best!

Steve Babiak summed it up very nicely I think.I would just like to emphasize that I feel it is important to let every applicant know what is going on and refund application deposits whenever possible.

The most important thing to emphasize is the longer you own real estate the better it does. 

what i am trying to emphasize is due to how biggerpocket is structured, it creates so many newbie because the technology that's used by biggerpocket is so 1992. it's just simple forum, people ask question and then people would answer.in 2024 , the journey should be more like finding a better answer interactively, summarization and contextualization. so if someone ask "hey shall i invest for cash flow or appreciations ?"
