If you burn a seller, there's a 50% higher chance either he owns something else you're offering on or he knows the seller or his attorney knows the other attorney, broker knows about your past deal, etc.

I have had people asking me about burning out @Byron Umana, but I just don't.

I've seen many investors get burned because they failed to understand their hard money loan terms/rates, even if they did acquire what should have been a home run deal. 

Trashy.I am also with @Lauren Kormylo on the wood burning fireplace.

Is there enough fat on the deal.  

What would you do in my shoes I don’t invest there so take this with a slight grain of salt but I’ve heard multiple stories of basically this exact scenario someone getting offered a big payday for something in Cumberland, rejecting it & always for some reason (house burned down, block got worse, sheetz decided they actually didn’t want someone’s land for a car wash after all) always selling for like 10-20k and regretting not selling. 

I start by telling them we have a lot of money tied up in the property, and we've been burned by folks that wanted us to believe the best of them.

They weren't that much more expensive than a generic blanket but the principal and selfishness burns. 

.: I'm taking a break from buying and my previous approach of analyzing deals in inexpensive markets, looking at hundreds of properties on Zillow and running the numbers, which I spent hours each on each day and became really burned out.

It's not good to burn bridges in this business, and we agents do a lot of free work that we never get paid for.
