Just as all of you in this thread have had a different perspective and thought on one particular scenario, say, bringing a sandwich into a shop, and your thoughts on that exact action - how it has affected each one of you to a point - either of irritation, anger, or some could care less. 

I always get irritated when people pile on with the wooulda, coulda, shoulda stuff. 

Attitude is key and I am very aware of that when talking to client prospects and I definitely do not do that when speaking to my clients because they are already in a vulnerable or irritated state.

Listen to this report of what Bank of America is involved in:Bird Flu Distributed by Dept of Homeland Security Drivers paid in cash by Bank of Americahttp://www.youtube.com/watch?

Fun and games, what irritates me is the window was 10 months old.This is why the returns on cash need to be worthwhile because this stuff will happen, not if.

@Robert Del ToroMy first thought is not to use that image on your prospectus.On a more serious note, to find private investors you'll either have to have one in your circle of friends/family/acquaintances, or you'll have to talk to other real estate investors (by actually being helpful, interested, and their friend) and then see if you can find the people who help them finance their deals.I'm not even connected, and I can tell you, it's super irritating to meet someone and have them asking me if a know/have a private investor like, 5 minutes later.Build the relationships, put in the hustle, the money will come once you set the stage.

If I could, while understanding the tenant giving you no notice to vacate is certainly irritating, I would encourage you that this also brings opportunities for you to further prosper. 

I got his rendition that he must have had the flu, the bartender had a different story. 

For some, the deposit is already seen as "spent and gone" and never expect anything back, based on the condition of the place they leave it in, or live in, for that matter.So the MTM gives me the opportunity to get rid of them by cancellation if they irritate me, and the lease does not have an advantage for me since most have basically nothing to loose.People with a more stable and higher income I do leases.

It irritates me that foreign money is competing so hard in a town of 3,000 people in the middle of Wyoming but such is life.
