Several months later, someone heard about a hoarder house that wasn't listed because the owners were embarrassed.

I'm so green I feel embarrassed to share my goals beyond my rather-ambitious 5 year goal.I'm not sure when I first joined bigger pockets; however I decided to engage and start paying attention after finding the podcast on Stitcher Radio.

But I am constantly amazed at the lengths people will go through not to risk any form of embarrassment, as if they're not going to be putrefied body ash and worm s**t just like the rest of us when it's all over.

@Umi Essien  You are getting some embarrassingly dangerous advice here. 

It meets the rule of being embarrassed to send the offer!

It was the fact that their house wasn't retail ready and was embarrassing for them that they sold to me without going the traditional realtor route. 

I was actually listening to BP podcast 206 yesterday and the guest stated that "If you're not embarrassed by your offer, it's too high."  

After a good 7 or 8 years, I was able to find a part-time job and leave the semi-embarrassing life that many people could not relate to. by the time I was 18, I was a store manager at a popular national retailer managing over $4M in assets while being a full-time student.

When I re-read what I posted, I'm a little embarrassed by how naive and nice I've been.

Everyone agrees that I'm one of the smartest book smart people that know but I'm arrogant and lazy, I just hope I can save myself eventual so I can make my family and friends proud to say they know me.Sorry it was a little embarrassing for me to talk about all this because I'm a little ashamed
