Negativity 101

Good post. I guess people are just creatures of habit and have fears that they try to impose on others. Sometimes with well meaning intentions but they don't always have the burning desire to make a CHANGE for the better in their lives.

This website is a great place for us to come together and support each other's efforts - we get it. It's also a good idea to go to REI groups and keep in touch with other REI folks. We all know that opportunities that are out there. Birds of a feather.

For others a 9-5 grind is what they want for themselves even in today's uncertain world.

I wish you the best with this property.

Thanks. The only thing I forgot to mention is that my profit margins are lower than I really want them to be, but honestly, this is a nice neighborhood full of great people and they just dont deserve this eyesore on their street. I cant tell you how many of them come over every time I drive up. It is an incredible feeling and it drives me even harder to really make this property help everyone in the neighborhood and bolster their personal property values.

I believe that what goes around comes around. The fact that you are willing to lower your profit margins to help people says alot and I believe because you care about people you will have great success! It must be a happy feeling to meet folks in the neighborhood knowing you are doing right by them.

I agree. Follow your heart. DO your homework and you will be fine. Most of all forget the naysayers, they are the perfect examples of what fear looks like. So you when you see and naysyaers,see all the fear they have in them. What they are really saying is why do you have the balls to take a step outside the norm and I don't. Sorry to be so rough there. I was on the verge thi week of getting a womans house sold that was in foreclosure. Going to auction the end of the month. My buyer was ready to go, and close this friday. I wanted to help this lady that it would have only been a good deal for my investor if I would have gotten at the price she needed. So I was willing not make any money on this deal. I would of just set my investor up and her to go to closing and went home to keep on looking for the next deal. Of course I wanted to make money, that is important. But I had to make a decision on whether to save this lady or put me first. She was first. I was fin with that. Then I call her to ask her to bring my buyer to look at the house and she says she just got off the phone with her bank. She said they were willing to work something out with her and that she didnt have to sell. So deal was done. She says she will call me when she is ready to sell because she is moving to Arizona in August. I was dissapointed because I wanted to help her. Not even concerned about me not making any money. Oh well

Man, I'm with you. And I have to re-iterate what Lea said. What comes around goes around. Keep it up my friend. You tried to do the right thing and and just didn't work out.

I like your signature line and it certainly sounds like you have your mind made up!

Stan,that's a example of finding the positive! If we look hard enuf there is always a way.Best of luck on that deal!

That might be your diamond right there. Try low bidding, to see if you could get a good deal making it cost effective to do enough rehab to change the property's condition. My fellow DG members said it well, what goes around comes around and stay away from the negatives. As long as you could see the potential, go for it, but as Anita, Joe, Rina and other will say, "Do you due diligence." All the best.
