Seeing four digit gold priced in USDs no longer looks strange to me psychologically.

The psychological part of these books keep me focused.

Whatever the sellers motivation, it's a win/win for seller and buyer and knowing that it works for someone else tells me that it will work here as well.People are all essentially the same, if we weren't the field of psychology wouldn't exist.

I haven't figured out what i plan to read in 2014 yet, but these are the books i read and enjoyed in 2013. 1) Street Smarts - Jim Rogers 2) The One Thing - Gary Keller 3) Influence - the Psychology of Persuasion - Robert B Ciadini 4) FLIP - Rick Villani and Clay Davis 5) Mastering the Art of Selling Real estate - Tom Hopkins 6) The Art of Selling Real Estate - Patricia Cliff 7) Advanced Selling Strategies - Brian Tracy 8) Power of Self - Confidence - Brian Tracy 9) How to become a Power Agent in Real Estate - Darryl Davis 10) The Champion Real Estate Agent - Dirk Zeller 11) Real Estate Prospecting - Loren K.

There is nothing on this earth than cause physical, emotional, financial or psychological pain and suffering to my Spirit. 

This all pretty obvious stuff, but I think psychologically it's pretty easy to fall into this trap, particularly when the downside is a year or two away.  

Wholesalers have to know RE as well if not better than most to pass along good deals...markets, submarkets, construction, financing, buyer seller psychology, marketing, closing process, etc.

We began an integrated marketing plan a few months ago to try to find new investors who need PM, and we keep coming back to this question of psychology in our strategy discussions: What makes a self-manager decide they want to outsource management of their properties?

I'm with @Jay Hinrichs hiring attorneys and filing lawsuits will only deliver psychological gratification while setting you back thousands of $$.The most cost effective method to put people on notice, in the event you need to later recover damages e.g. from a negative cash flowing property, selling expenses, etc.

This is ironic because I loved psychology so much that it is my bachelor degree concentration (I feel like I fell victim to some secret psychological fallacy here, haha).
