You will always be a sad, broken, wreck of a man, no matter how well you learn to pretend and how loudly you protest otherwise.It will happen to the point that you will know in your bones that you are a habitual failure, that no matter what you do, you will never be good enough to erase the stain of the shame of what you've been through.

Joe Kalis' full name is Joseph Allen Kalis aka Josh Allen, so you're in this forum writing a post singing your own praises pretending to be someone and promoting your own business.

Once you get buyers in the door, you can always negotiate, but if no one sees the house, it doesn't matter how it's priced.You can ask agents for your active comps how much activity they've had, or even pretend to be a buyer and try to fish out some info.

Let's pretend we're in NYC, where rents for studios routinely run $3000/month. 

Now for a minute, pretend you're a business you'd like to sell someday.

I subtract off the $300 and pretend the rent is $400/mo. for argument's sake.

You can't not report an installment sale and just pretend youre still renting it out. 

I've had friends offer to call on my behalf, pretending to be prospective tenants, but I hate being dishonest about it.If I called you, would you say "It's none of your business" and hang up, or would you tell me?

I am a real estate agent and therefore my income doesn't start to count until after 3 years do to the fluctuating nature of real estate commissions.I am not a CPA nor to I pretend to be one, but from my experience you will not see large gains when starting out.

Or you can just sweep all of the complexities under the carpet and pretend that nothing happened.
