It's because you aren't really reading and taking in the information, you are trying for short cuts to get people to qualify your vision.

I have done everything the right way, the ethical way, treating people with honesty and respect.. treating the market and the process with respect (not cutting any corners, permits, etc) and it seems like I have been beaten down at every turn and now I am at risk of losing everything I have worked hard for years to obtain. 

To begin investing in real estate, learn first, set financial goals, analyze finances, study markets, make friends in the field, get a loan, start with small properties, check all details, plan how to manage them, and choose renters carefully.

My dad, a carpenter self-employed for 30+ years, was working on the house next door, and saw him cutting the grass one day and struck up a conversation with him, he said "Have her make me an offer".

Then once sold, the listing agent would be getting their cut of $36,250.

So my question is based on the lackluster response so far, when would you recommend another price cut and how much would you drop? 

Columbus is like right down the road from Cleveland.....How often does your dad cut your grass?

Those will cut into your cash flow and if poorly managed, those properties can cost you a lot more in the long run.Start whenever you want. 

So be careful out there when you choose these people. 

I would recommend focusing on markets/sub markets that will provide a more consistent return so take your time and be careful in the areas you're investing in.Personally I prefer the middle/southern part of the country because the price points are much lower and the laws are landlord friendly.
