"FOR SALE BY OWNER"
A friend of mine who owns a pizza shop called me and proceeded to tell me how he is going to buy a property (FSBO) so they can "cut out" the brokers fees. He goes on to tell me how proud he is that he read "THE BOOK", (what book I don't know), and is following it to investor success.
In the next breath he asks me to run comps, estimate closing costs, give him contacts for mortgage brokers and title companies and give him advice on what the next steps are to completing the transaction as well as negotiation tips. I took a breath...told him to hold on as I was on my way to his shop and that I would be right there to have this conversation in person.
I arrived, but before I would let him speak, I handed him two frozen pizzas I bought at the store - I asked him to put them in his oven so they could cook, cut them and serve them to me at his table before we could talk business.
He was appalled - how dare I ask him to do such a thing! Don't I know that HE makes pizzas, and that is how he pays his bills?
I just looked at him and smiled...
