Snakebitten and Frustrated

[Blair G.]

Sorry, but I am going to use this medium to vent. Two days ago I learned that a Driving for Dollars spreadsheet I spent countless hours creating became corrupted and cannot be fixed. Ughhh! This has come at a bad time as deals are very difficult to find in my target area of Jacksonville, FL and I was counting on a second round of direct marketing to that list to bring in some deals. I have MLS access but everything on it is overpriced or is being bid up by newbie investors, Ughhh. Finally, every wholesaler I have tried to work with in my area seems unable to correctly value properties and continually pass along garbage, Ughhh. I am in this for the long run but these last few months have been really slow, keeping my targets for the year out of reach. Anyone else out there getting frustrated in this market? Are you compromising on acquisition criteria? Okay, I feel a little better. Pitty party over. Send me your deals in JAX!
