Whether the heart attack story is true or not, it seems like an excuse.Back in November, just a day or two past the first of the month, one of my tenant's suffered a serious sickness and was hospitalized. 

I m not anticipating any appreciation, plainly cash flow.

Well,  as I drove the properties I got this sick feeling in my gut like what the hell did I do...

The previous owners are an older couple and he has been sick (chemotherapy) as of late so the wife is handling everything.

Even before you start qualifying them, they tell you what they want and tell you "If you don't give me X amount, I won't sell my property" Last but not least, they give you no information because they are busy, you caught them at a bad time, or just plain dont' want to speak with you.

What I found is that the xeriscape was more costly to install than just plain sod.

Perhaps no one wanted to offer the seller what the true value on the property was... or perhaps the seller was just sick of sitting on it.  

What she probably meant was she's sick of wholesalers contacting her thinking she's desperate to sell her house, and wanting to take advantage of her, thinking she doesn't know the value of her house. 

And then there is just plain driving neighborhoods and getting the general feel of the streets.
