Over an eight month period, I‘ve wasted countless hours calling and calling and researching properties only to get discourage.

As I stated there was an exclusive listing for the first purchase attempt in 2016.I felt the sellers agent misled me since we discussed commission during 2017 in countless emails which I still have, I submitted a commission statement and my brokerage firm when I was asked to and the sellers agent sent me and my lawyer an invoice receipt which stated the property for sale, the commission amount and how much of my offer to purchase was applied against it and what the balance remains to be paid was.

Through good grades, test scores countless essays etc in high school, I managed to attain a full, 4-year tuition and housing scholarship to a Big 10 university.

Quote from @Tom Pappas: As a former CPA and attorney who managed a distressed property investment fund, I've analyzed countless real estate opportunities.

He has promised countless times over several months (5 months to be exact) to come back to us with "a proposal by the end of this week" via email on 11/28/23 and "we will get this wrapped up this week" via email on 12/11/23 - and we are already in the first week of February 2024 without a proposal and without any progress in coming to a resolution.

-Out of the pool of local investors (I run a REIA here) I have identified 10 A-level “gamers” which I define as people I would love to work with based on skill sets, personal chemistry and track record.

I know that I could apply to jobs that would pay me greater and make it easier to begin investing, but at the same time I have told myself countless times that getting a "real job" may slow down my true dreams, and I cant imagine finding a salary job that I would enjoy doing.  

Countless masses are implementing ai calling it their business "innovation" but no, did they make the ai?

@Andy Eakes  Your comment about passive income being a long term game REALLY resonated with me - that's absolutely right, I'm doing this for the long term, not as a quick way to make money or as a flip!

Knowing Who the seller is and Why they are selling could help you negotiate in the following ways: obtaining a reduced purchase priceobtaining seller financingprovide a lease-back optionoffer an equity stake in new development vs. cash at closeThere are countless ways that the terms and structure of a deal could be altered to get you to the finish line, and sure, it's possible that you could get a win-win deal for you and the seller without knowing their true why, but just like you should always make sure you know what you're buying, you should just as well know why they are selling.
