I received two postcards today about selling rental properties. I always call these people to see what they are offering. So far they've always offered about 50-60% of the property's value; one prospective buyer even typed in my information on the county tax website while I was on the phone and offered me 50% of the taxed value. Since the properties are worthwhile I've never taken an offer but someday I might get some crazy person that will offer 200%. If so I'll sign that contract so fast it will make your head spin.
One of the companies I called was an individual owner/investor and we spent about 20 minutes talking about topless bars because we both worked in them. About 20 years ago he was a circuit dancer (he and a group of guys would travel around to small bars and dance for a night or weekend) and would work at the club I worked at. We talked about some of the guys we used to work with, some of the pitfalls of the business and how glad we were to be out.
How small is this world when he can work at a place 20 years ago and I managed the place about 8 years ago and we know some of the same people?
