You need to calm down, Will - you're embarrassing yourself.

I seem to be holding this project close to the vest - maybe I'm embarrassed it's taking too long?!  

Most notably and most embarrassingly, it'd be even better if these books contained pictures that pointed out the specialties.

It was very embarrassing to say the least.

Annnd, now I'm embarrassing myself.Anyway, thanks for the niche advice...that's a much better way of looking at it!

It was kind of embarrassing to tell my tenants that I didn't have a system for them yet. 

But my guru told me I would need to make 100 offers to find a deal, and that if my offer didn't embarrass me it was too high.

<g>I offered to pay the tenant's electric company deposit for them, so they could move in now with the utilities in their name, and then have them pay me back the loan in a few weeks.I think this may have embarrassed them.  

In most cases, wholesalers should feel a little embarrassed by their offer (at least when starting out).I hope this is helpful!

And then I performed.. usually renting back to them.. this is how you get the deals they don't want to move.. even if you bought it and gave them some money its not about that its aobut keeping the kids in school or the embarrassment of telling friends and family why I had to move... etc etc.I only did this with properties that would net me at least 30k on a quick sale.. so I never also went the no equity route never saw the purpose in that.then the anti stripping law s came in and in our states you can't rescue one in foreclosure and rent back to them its illegal.. you also must share a % of your gain if you resell in a specific amount of time.. now people violate the laws all the time but for me with big exposure it put me out of that model I Have not done it since the laws passed.
