After the call, I’ll analyze for you what worked and what didn’t, and what I learned about the property from his answers. He turned out to be a fellow investor who might’ve pressured a less experienced investor into purchasing this property, and I’ll point out some of the pitfalls you can avoid when talking with fellow real estate investors.
