Sometimes it's painful to read the comments on the loan and see the miscommunication going on.

The brutal reality nobody wants to talk about is that this 'thing' called Real Estate, like anything else worthwhile in life, is hard, requires a painful change in mindset, takes dedication, practice and time.Money is never the issue in any business.

Man that sounds like a great big pain in the ***.

The cash flow without appreciation markets (i.e. the Midwest markets) have a hard time scaling with inflation, is too small cash flow to make a significant impact to CA investors, can be a pain in the butt (building trusted team, potentially poor tenants, potential hidden cap expenses, potential Mother nature issues, etc.).What is good cash flow after all expenses in the Midwest after accounting for all costs including cap expenses? 

I feel your pain.

Make sure they know you are not only interested in this property, but you could also be interested in the other properties that causes them lots of pain.

@Dori Arazi, No, you get the pain points of a 1031 pretty well. 

Does anyone know if you can contact a bank that has a property on auction.com to submit an offer and forego the pains of using auction.com?

Did you say "is on pain meds" ? 

Reasonable people will not expect you to hurt you or your family, but will appreciate whatever you can do for them, assuming they can see past their own pain.
