It is like going to a restaurant is not cheaper than cooking your meal at home.

I do know the benefits of a good PM company, I know stress comes with owning a business, but I was just looking for ways other investors are managing their stress/anxiety to live a healthier lifestyle.  

And not only that, but they should stop everything they are doing that day to provide that information for the price of a meal.  

Everyone loves pizza and by giving them this meal  they feel they need to reciprocate the favor and do something that you want .

The downtown area has really changed for the better in the last 15 years or so... lots of old buildings being fixed up and businesses coming in to make it a fun place to go enjoy a meal and do some mom and pop store shopping on the weekend.

If the seller is open to seller financing, a 10% down payment and 3% interest gets you to almost $200/month in cash flow, and a much healthier 8.45% cash-on-cash return.  3% is of course extremely favorable, but I've heard more than one BP podcast guest mention rates in that range:

I'm not saying you won't find good deals, but the margins are growing thinner and thinner...and some buyers are putting-off their decision to buy simply expecting a market correction.Personally speaking, I have sold already a portion of my portfolio and I am cautious now, expecting for the market conditions to unfold and ready for the opportunities to come when asset prices go back to a "healthier" level. 

Find ways to bring value to them and be willing to take them out to lunch and pay for their meal.
