After examining the analysis I had done on his offer and then taking a look at my counters from the view point of a buyer he realized that what he was asking for it was a waste of time and if he were to put it on the market and try to sell it to a stranger nobody would want it with his numbers through seller finance. 

after I closed my last (and biggest) deal of my career I realized the financial docs were off by 64%.

No one would buy their deals if the prices were too high, so the ones that are successful, obviously are getting cash buyers to buy them.3) Wholesalers that realize it is about making many deals with lower cost per deal, instead of making a few deals with hughe assignment fees ar ethe ones you need.Now keep in mind, every time we wholesale we make anywhere between $50K and $100K.

I wish more hosts realize it's the experience that makes the STR, not the amount of people you fit in a property.

They test it out and the listings will jump back and forth until they settle on what they want.Hopefully Vrbo will realize pretty quickly that this is turning into an epic fail.

I would assume lower interest rates would drive the appraisal higher but I realize that is not a given.  

Thank god I just took action and realized that there is opportunity all around everyone all of the time.

Most people don't realize that loans change hands.

I was planning to go to med school, but realized that I wanted to go that route so I could dump earnings into real estate.

The more equity you have when you are ready to retire, the more cashflow it will turn into.So you can optimize for two things: higher priced properties with a bigger potential to appreciate (find the sweet spot, don't go too high) and harness more tenants with higher income to pay higher rents (= higher monthly paydown).When you start thinking this way, you quickly realize that today's cashflow is not that important as long term equity.
