Sounds like more of a discouragement  to me or sales-reverse-psychology.  

Any facts or suspicions regarding circumstances that could psychologically impact or stigmatize the Property.Taken from the DORA approved contract to buy and sell. 

She inherited the house which is almost paid off, and her kids were raised in the house as well, leading to high psychological attachment to the property.

I also know a lot of experienced investors who have been selling for the past year or two so it kind of makes you wonder.I'm trying not to generalize here, and you clearly have some experience doing some work so if anything I think that could help you out if you get in over your head, but generally speaking this is the environment to start being cautious, not getting caught up in the fever.I do think that the Fed's recent change will buy us some more time, maybe a couple of years, but markets are based on human psychology, which hasn't changed, and I still think caution is warranted now.In any case, the offer is in, and if it gets accepted and the source of your down payment passes muster, given that you can do some work yourself it'll probably all work out.

Damn, @Jay HinrichsOregon seems to prudent to assist homeowners sell their property anyway they want to.Love the "right to die" legislation too.Now if you can get the automatic weapons out of the hand of psychologically unstable Oregon people....

I have a degree in Psychology, and I find NLP fascinating."

I'm also trained as a psychological counselor which has helped me greatly in creating a good mindset and in working with other people. 

While it focuses on writing copy, I took much more from it, including the psychology of consumers (that it's not necessarily what people need, it's what they perceive they need), and came away full of new ideas that I had never considered on marketing.

I am known to psychology majors as a "mastermind" and "inventor" and I am known to other business owners as a work system engineering (genius?)

The psychology of these 3 day pitch meetings if you don't know what they're doing is this...Supposedly they are giving away free training to implement but they're holding back.And they are "conditioning you very subtly" over those period of 3 days.I've seen this for over 30 years and are fairly immune to their psychological devices.I really believe that "anything of real value" that they're saying can be found here at BiggerPockets.There's so many distractions in real estate investing, there is always a "new shiny object", always "some very urgent and important thing to learn".If more people would just focus on one strategy, or get a coach that's reliable and proven, and listen to that coach and not focus on other things, chances are they would create some profitable business, and be happier and not confused.I think wholesaling and retailing- rehabbing is not a good place for many people.I think learning how to talk to sellers and offering them a cash offer and a terms offer is the way to get started.Terms offers include subject to, wraparound mortgages, lease options, installment sales on free and clear houses, and more.
