You definitely added a different flavor to this post, @Jeremiah B. 

We all fail to shift our thoughts from landlord to Asset manager, huge distinction.  

@Charles Hinson you are saying they are distressed therefore owner financing is off the table, i'd be interesting in understanding what you mean.if the properties are not bank owned, then subject to strategies are the no to low money option. that is a flavor of owner financing.  

But I make sure people understand the distinction between a Buyer Agent and a Facilitator when I first meet them, in terms of service and compensation; I tell them not to hire me until we've gone to see a few properties and they decide if they like and trust me; and I give them a service guarantee that says if they aren't happy with me at any time, they can fire me.I understand the investor mentality that "whoever brings me the deals is who I work with," but are you really better off working with and paying a great Buyer Agent than hoping a herd of mediocre agents will lay dead mice at your feet? 

., here at home there is a distinction between leasing a property with an option to purchase and a scheduled/deferred purchase programme and you want to be certain you do not inadvertently mix the two.

There are distinct maintenance items for each, and if they have been neglected for any length of time, you could have a complete disaster an hour and a half after you close!

Each of these mentor groups have their own flavor pr vibe.

How to spot an Asset Protection Salesman, as distinct from an asset protection attorney?

That's an important distinction that everyone kind of knows, but it bears saying out loud (or, as it were, in writing).2.

I like the distinction in the areas between Darby boro, Darby Twp and Collingdale.
