That said, me being the chronic optimist I am, I'm glad I came around to the idea of investing now instead of right before retirement.

Is there such a chronic shortage of skycaps in Nashville that we have to import them from Florida?".

Getting with a brokerage that will help train you in different areas where you are weak is so beneficial in my opinion to helping you to become a better investor.

I would not consider weak cash flow if I was paying all cash.You mentioned seller financing this deal, which might be enough to persuade someone to pay above market value.

I had options other than selling but I let the non-analytic side of things take over, which used some of my own real weaknesses (lack of liquidity, for example) against me. 

Team up with someone you trust who has experience or complements your weaknesses.

I am discovering some of the areas I am weak in.Here are some examples:Marketing - Developing a compelling website, pitch book, and other marketing material.Credibility - I lack the practical experience to convince most potential partners.I feel like the solution to this is to put together a dream team of experts for an Advisory Board.

The soil might be weak or soft and the footings might have been poured without addressing that. 

I am willing however to try your slightly higher price for a period of XX days if we go ahead and build in a price reduction if no offers come in or activity is weak."

A weak dollar, means prices and wages come down.
