Fortunately, I met a down to earth investor from Houston, TX whose team has for several years now invested in distressed homes worth pursuing and viable to invest in. 

Goals are great to have, you just need to be reasonable in how you set them and how you aim to achieve them.JFK stated that the United States should set as a goal "landing a man on the moon and returning him safely to the earth" by the end of the decade.

You can become the master of your market if you work at it all the time.Write down everything about the house the seller and the existing financing – you can always come back weeks or months later when you are more informed and make an offer that can be a short term fast equity profit or assignment fee.When this is done you will be knowledgeable of that market and when you are ready to make an offer you’ll know you will be getting a bargain.Find and work with a Mentor – not just anyone who calls themselves a “mentor”, a real down to earth financially successful person who can prove his or her net worth, show you their portfolio and can teach creative financing, no down money deals, delayed settlement, joint ventures, tax sales, negotiations, assignment and will refer you to the professionals who can represent you and close transactions.

The main gray/green color is "Zeus"The columns and trim are "Crisp Linen"And the door, which isn't super visible here, is called "Fired Earth" and has just enough brown/tan to the black to go with the rest.

There´s no way on earth that is a genuine offer @Stephanie Beard.

In other words, if there is no money in it for them, why on earth would I offer it to them... or even contract it to begin with?

Can anyone explain what on earth HUD has to do with anything if we’re not talking about HUD-1 paperwork?

Now why on earth would you reward someone who is stealing from you ?

I don't go all scorched earth and start contacting brokers and DOS people and the board.
