It's the gurus, mentors and coaches spinning those little heads for the money (and none of them teach real estate)! 

The site is full of valuable information and people that are full of great ideas.

Thank you for this valuable information!

I agree that good tenants are valuable in their own right and you should price the properties accordingly.

I really appreciate the suggestions :) The humble, professional approach is definitely the way to go.Only a few days into my membership and I'm already feeling Bigger Pockets is the most valuable and useful social network I could ever be apart of!

Just an idea, my thinking is that it would be wise to make yourself more valuable to a large note investor by finding superior note opportunities for them.  

You're saving them time, which is a very valuable commodity for them if they are busy.  

Hi @Adam Sherritt - When you first contact the owner you don't know the numbers but if they show in interest in selling you will begin the dialogue that leads you to not only the numbers but other valuable insights (ie: whether they are willing to do seller financing, hold a 2nd, other properties they may have for sale, or maybe that the lot next to it is owned by them as well and could be used for further development etc). 

Even the simplest of expectations that seem almost negligible can prove to be valuable tools in guiding your business when clearly outlined and communicated with those around you. 

My mentor has started teaching me about multifamily 5 units or more and i really prefer this type of real estate.
