Paul Reinhold form Great Rewards Investment Properties LLC in Redford, Michigan made me very happy today. For some strange reason I dont know why most real estate investors dont ask for references - realtors, loan officers, title companies, contractors, private lenders, bird doggers - dont deal with them if they cant provide you with a reference.

I am always nagging about it that two things - paper and references - will save you enormous amounts of misrey when dealing with people in your real estate business. Happy to report that Paul is the first one who has ever bothered doing it best to my knowledge.

He met a loan officer at the Gold Training last week - they gave my name as a reference, he emailed me asking to verfiy the reference.

Awesome! That is the way it is supposed to be done anyway.

I ran an advertisement in Detroit News couple of months ago looking for contractors. We got around 150 phone calls. Our first instruction was to fax us three references and we will call you back. Almost 100 of them dropped off instantly. The other 50 left were keepers.

Three references, three phone numbers, three phone calls equals no drama later.

Paper and References - that is the way to go in all your business dealings.
