I'd like to discuss management techniques and or issues. 

I learn the techniques and strategies used in the US and apply them overseas when possible, where my competition isn’t that sophisticated because there isn’t any real estate investing culture as in North America.Most importantly, I invest in markets where I have access to leverage but there is no or very little leverage in the market, whereby property prices are cheap and not overinflated by cheap debt.

Just use the broken record technique - just keep repeating that same sentence every time she starts in again. 

Using that type of machine/technique is favorable because it doesn't leave any paint brush marks which allows for the finishing product to look much smoother and look better overall.

Home staging is a technique whereby the seller uses furniture and decorations to construct a model of what the space could look like once someone lives there. 

But knowledge is power, so I want to see what other people's experiences have been with this technique so I am armed with the different possibilities when I go to the meeting. :) And you are absolutely right that banks need us and that should give us more confidence in negotiating with themThanks for sharing your insight!

But not everyone wants to be a landlord/lady, and some really do get the technique and systems down for successful flips and become wealthy doing it.

As someone who is a real estate investor because I can't stand having "the man" telling me how to spend my time, I definitely experienced a bit of cognitive dissonance when I realized that I AM "the man" to my tenants. 

You are at the right location to find like minded people, and should have no problem being able to reach your RE investing goals.There are countless stories both in the forms and BP blogs that outline this specific technique you have used to get started, and can help you get to the next level.
