A comparable sale is a property that is within 30 years of the age of our proposed purchase, within 200 square feet, the same style, lesser or equal bedroom count, lesser or equal bathroom count and similar acreage.

Not saying this applies to this thread, but I've read countless threads where newbies (or like myself not new to REI, but getting into new niches) they/we are encouraged to get out and do it, yet I think sometimes, even with the best of intentions, some people scare the poop out of you with the what if's.

There are countless threads where you have replied saying a property costs too much or is a good deal based on the 50% rule.

I've been doing countless training's, seminars, webinars, etc...plus working 12hour+ days 7 days a week.  

I watched this property for months, spend a few more months waiting for them to respond to my price reduction requests, finally agree on a price, spend countless hours on the road driving to the property, pay $500 for an inspection, spend $100 securing the property, file a police report and get squatters out and they don't even have the decency to explain to me why the seller is cancelling!!!!  

I am also an opportunity junkie, and have seen countless courses, programs, ads, etc. and have a good radar for what is he NOT saying about the information he has for sale.These things are always oversold in terms of ease, potential earnings, and what have you.

I can't tell you the countless times she has told me that if I deal with a Realtor, I'm dealing with the CAR, and I myself need to be the cash buyer.

I spoke with other neighbors and they informed me the hellish tenants have been there 6 years and they have tried to speak with the landlord and HOA but no one has been able to do anything and law enforcement has been there countless times.

I want to believe Sooo bad but the old school sales tactics that I lived through at least 300 times (purchased many products) in RIA meetings and countless seminars makes me scepticle at best and an unbeliver.

I have known countless people who regretted not having a family.
