hmm, very insightful @Jerry W. , It has occurred to me that yes, their attorneys would obviously be much more on their side than mine.My only concern was that I'm a little too late.

Looking at his BP profile I see he's from Orange County California.One of my customers sent me a screenshot of an email he sent to my customer basically accusing me of being a scammer.I've never had any contact with Carlos or his company, but apparently he doesn't mind dragging my company name through the mud all the way from Orange County California.

I am ready to start my journey in the fix and flip as well as rental aspects od REI.Having grown up in South Florida I have witnessed the growth and potential that this market has to offer.

Background:In the Class Action Complaint (linked below) the Judge accused the NAR of fixing prices and states, "For decades, home buyers across America have been unwittingly paying too much for, and receiving too little from, services offered to them by real estate agent members of NAR.Despite agent representations (which NAR permits and encourages) that such services do not cost home buyers anything, home buyers in fact pay a hefty cost for these services—namely,  supracompetitive commissions at levels fixed by the Defendants, which in turn lead to higher home prices paid by buyers...as part of their membership, brokers must also agree to follow NAR’s rules, practices, and guidelines.

They may respond by wanting to sign the lease immediately, by accusing you of hiding something, or they may just go away. 

i have a pretty ridiculous situation with 2 tenants who share a bathroom. the 2 tenants buy their own toilet paper, and have basically been messaging me, accusing each other of using their toilet paper *face palm*  as ridiculous as it sounds I'm thinking of just getting 2 separate toilet paper dispensers for the bathroom...thoughts on how to resolve this situation?

@Aly W. it was suggested to me to have the police there "to keep the peace" as a witness if tenant refused.  

Quote from @Jami Lynn:  If the seller is one of the "recognized" "minorities" (that's who've we always had problems with later) we insist they bring along a family member or best friend "to help celebrate" (be a witness) and we get them on video too of course.

While I have never been to any of the seminars, I have witnessed others go into serious debt to attend them and have done exactly 0 deals.

Originally posted by Account Closed:Jain,It will be hard to find cash flowing properties in the Bay Area.My rule of thumb to get a cash flow you rent need to be at least 1% of the purchase price.Meaning if you are buying $150000 property rent need to be $1500 monthly to be constantly cash flow positive.This rent to price ratio is unachievable in the bay area.If you are looking for the cash flow I would recommend to concentrate on out of state investments.If you want to learn more feel free to check this meetup: meetup.com/Los-Gatos-Real-Estate-Networking-Meetup/ I usually would get accused of rendering a hate speech for suggesting this very line of thought.
