If i could recommend anything, especially because you have the initial funds to get into serious trouble,  it would be to very clearly define what it you want to do with the money that way you are focused on what you will look for and would spend the money on that way you won't allow yourself to make a rash decision.  

I am sure you can not say that you have successfully closed 100% of short sale transactions so this scenario must have come up before.By the way,in debates back and forth such as this, nobody can see facial expressions or tones of voice, it is just text, as such, sometimes misunderstandings take place and I wanted to be clear that I am enjoying our converstaion back and forth, I am not attempting to argue with you.

Know your subject matter inside and out, anticipate questions that can arise and have your response so that it is instant, without hesitation.I know I'm rambling but stick with me here, body laungage and facial expressions are improtant too.

Obama came in and made some very rash decisions; instead of stepping back, spending a few months analyzing the problems and trying to figure out the best solution, he felt the need to jump and start doing something -- ANYTHING -- from day one to try to solve the problems.

A rash of occupancy problems and a few destructive tenants I'm sure could make a deep dent in that. 

Find the middle point between being rash and being scared to act.That's all I can think of right now.

she is "old lady" hot and uses michael jackson's facial surgery doctor.these shows are so stupid it's laughable. you can learn a thing or two.the closest thing to reality were those "property ladder" shows where regular joe's would try flipping a house.i find it laughable that none of these guys ever lose $ on a deal.

Could not think, see, hard to understand me when I spoke rashes burning itching all over from scalp down.

So, please excuse my rash demanding behavior thinking that demanding a little more effort out of new types will motivate them, I'm probably wrong. :) 

Just a quick sniff is enough to gag you.If you're dumb enuf to block someone on the road, get out of your car, approach the driver window and try to punch the driver through the window, you deserve a chemical facial.
