I have been reading about real estate for years and continuing to push 'getting started' to the back burner.

The websites are on the back burner for now.

Gas is preferred for the surface burners, by most cooks, while electric is generally preferred for the oven.  

I CAN'T wait... i wish i could get it done NOW but .... i cant. so this goes on back burner for another week.BUT "TODAY" I CAN work on updating tax files in quickbooks for some great reports for my business plan and I "CAN"  work on my business plan. 

And it's human nature to slack off more when working with someone who has a close relationship as they spend more time with those they must "earn" business from, they can easily feel like you will always be working with them so it's okay to have you on the back burner today.Keep it a business relationship, most will call you friend, just remember they have alot of friends!

@Darren Sager  I found a frying pan completely melted on the burner.  

I've been interested in Real Estate for years, and quite frankly this has spent enough time on the back burner.

Get ones that have burners that are easily replaced (ie not smooth surface).

A new oil burner would be ~4k.

If it were me, I'd put this one on the back burner and invest your time and energy into deals that are workable and make sense.It IS possible to work this deal, however your expenses to date are merely the cost of doing business.
