Even just the grease from you fingers causes fish eyes.

There are plenty of other fish in the sea and it will rent!

I work in Alaska 8 months a year commercial fishing and am on my second property. 

Dont fish where everyone else is fishing. 

I'm sure there are other more creative ways of applying leverage to help push things forward, this seemed like a low threat option for meRespect your agent's time-my agent is a busy man, and I know he has much bigger fish to fry than my $160k sale (while this was ongoing I know he had multiple listings for over 2-3x the sale price/commission).

Boys waking up at dawn to go fishing in the river with grandpa, and the girls swimming and baking with grandma. 

If you hold out for the best deal ever (tm) in price per sf, cap rate, GRM, or whatever based on other investors fish stories,  you'll never close on anything. 

There's a lot of fish in the sea and they're not all for you.

We don’t have a lot of rentals where you can fish. 

I think the homeowner is just fishing for the best offer.
