In some cases, all that a little "compassion" will do is to lengthen the time until this unavoidable outcome will eventually come to fruition.   

I don’t want to walk through finished properties in Missouri while I live in Reno, NV, this one just happened to come to fruition.

If you want to realize fruition of this your going to have to pull yourself through and not rely on others to push you .

If they are offended by the offer then the deal will never come to fruition and you move on to the next.As far as advice, show us an example of one of your offers that offended someone.

It is often not the person that I am talking to right at that time who is that eventual person, but someone that *they* know..... as in 'my uncle Jim has like 10 duplexes and has been talking about retiring, you should talk to him; :-)Just last night the fruits of this came to fruition!

I’m excited to announce my first deal is coming to fruition today!

Nothing will come to fruition if you don’t take that first step.2.

Hopefully the lease will be up before this comes to fruition.

I have been infatuated with the idea of investing in real estate for quite some time but never prioritized it or pursued in a way that it would actually come to fruition up until about 7 or 8 months go.

Yeah, I’d see it as just a hope and a prayer that it came to fruition....2 years later, your buyer can’t buy, so you can’t buy, owner gets a trashed house back.....not very appealing.
