And one can work very hard with mental work too, not just physical labor.

Sometimes the owners haven't seen the property in a while and they don't have an accurate mental picture of its current state.

I was scheduled to close, and my buyer really wanted it to close on time so I discounted the price so he could do a legal eviction.If your squatter has no resources to make other living arrangements (mental, physical, emotional), he's not going anywhere, even if he has no stuff.

The matter can become even more complicated when, say, the tenants don't treat you right; then you can develop a sense of "tit for tat" or a certain "justice mentality," where you say "Well the tenant is going to have to pay 20% more in electrical bills because I don't want to spend the $1,500 on insulation, but that's okay because they did X or Y to my place, or me, or didn't do A or B when they should have."

I just "know" where an item is and then realize I've mentally mapped the wrong store...

The difficulty of managers and those seeking money is the failure to really understand the mentality of those who qualify as accredited investors, as they usually aren't one.

Its a different mentality out here where you work hard for your wealth and it doesn't happen overnight.

This was very inspirational and the mental kick in the pants that I needed to step up my direct mailing game.

My friend is also mentally impaired so no cooking but if this person cooks etc.

I'd be curious to hear if some of the other Portland area investors are going through the same mental games with their properties?
