These are people who share motivational characteristics of people ready to sell, but haven't yet done all the work they think they need to list property.

@Brendan Chisholm, quite a story you have, and persistence seems to be one of your strongest characteristics. 

Or is it too big a gamble?

I know trying to time the market is generally poor advice and more gambling then investing, but I am hesitant to start investing in a Roth now when the market feels like it is approaching a peak.

Some buyers are getting smarter about looking to see if permits were pulled and closed for work performed, but a lot aren't so it is a gamble at sale.

It's just human nature - we tend to attribute characteristics we like to people we like.

Gathering the knowledge and confidence to feel like it's an investment decision rather than a gamble is the part I need to overcome. 

They have not done a consolidation as they will not get approved and his father has a gambling problem. 

I'd gamble it's one of our highest ROI systems. 

I think some people would consider these mutually exclusive characteristics.
