Like a mosquito in a hunters ear if you like the hunt you adapt to the mosquitos.You need to adjust your expectations of people and let their attitudes roll off you back.

Biggest thing I've found is your approach has to adapt to the seller and operate on their level for the first negotiation. 

You're an old Marine, adapt and then overcome!

Adapt things you like to your own style and to what you are comfortable with.

I'm curious - as the real estate climate is changing (more strict underwritting, local economic factors, law changes, ect.) are you adapting your business plans and if you are, what particularly are you changing?

Sure, I can buy an adapter so that SOME of them will work.

Zonning should be viewed as flexible, changing and adaptable to changing needs, the process and results should provide economic stability.

Can you expand on how you navigated that transition and adapted / evaluated deals.
