I have essentially zero equity and likely over-payed just a little, so needless to say, I will not have anything left over after the sale. 

After meeting the neighbors at that property, I think it's more a function of the "neighborhood watch," sticking their nose needlessly into other's business. 

Needless to see we didn't buy that one.

Needless to say, I accomplished that goal last month and owe all of my success to date, to BiggerPockets, GAREIA and the amazing leaders and experts that I have learned from along the way.

Needless to say, it's a bit of a tightrope.  

Thank you for the kind words - at 75 years old now - I remember years ago when this I became motivated to invest in real estate (really -  my motivation was to make money and quick my low paying job)  I use to take every class and seminar on real estate investing and would read as much as I could all the time about real estate investing -  that is when I was 21 years old, some of the information was junk (seminars leaders trying to make money selling courses and useless information)  and some were really great, but at the time I didn't know what I didn't know, I finally got the nerve and courage to go out and try some of those crazy formulas they were talking about - and guess what - some of those far out creative financing techniques started to work for me - it was really scary because I started to make money - more money than I ever thought was possible with my limited formal education back than, I discovered I made more money than the president of the company I worked for - needless to say - I quit that job and devoted more time to making offers and collecting those large assignment fees - now even today at my age I continue to make offers - at this time the offers have lots of zeros in them ---- so all that good and useless education  paid off.You best teacher is the market - get out there and make offers, look at 50 houses - but don't make offers on those properties until you find the one deal that is absolute right for the profit making - just keep good records - listen to the sellers, do your comps, learn how to write "skinny contract offers", practice "Control and Roll" principals of controlling real estate with no money and assign your contracts using accelerated sales methods. 

(Needless to say the numbers are even more attractive with a considerable discount.)2.

Needless to say, well worth the money.

Land can never be substituted, you have to be someplace to do business or it takes land to support your transaction even if land isn't the subject of the deal.labor, capital and management or entrepreneurship can all be substituted, with more of one thing you may need less of another. 

Needless to say that work ethic is deserving of my business.
