It’s therapeutic to post this out for now, like a bold first step and making a commitment to learn deliberately the right way to do it, and hope that I can look back on this post in a few months or years and see how far I’ve come.

Lists of properties and owners with certain discrete characteristics that create a propensity for them to be receptive to a very deliberate, clear, and persistent offer from you do exist.Many investors "blame the list" when the list does not perform to their expectations.

I've also had 2 of my properties come vacant in April and upcoming in June and I deliberately posted ( and signed leases) at a higher rental price based on recently increased property tax assessments.

I have a competing property for sale that just upped the listing square footage, deliberately after months of listing it properly. 

Everyone has a different risk tolerance and not everyone is cut out for this business, you have to figure out if you are.One time a stock market investor was speaking to the billionaire JP Morgan and asking for advice.

JPMorgan Chase, Wells Fargo, Citibank and Ally Financial formerly known as GMAC are also part of this settlement and doing the same thing.Not to make this political but it is just another example of the government distorting the markets.

Being deliberate is wise whether this is your first purchase or 100th. 

Thus, your decision will be more deliberate.

From some deliberation, I actually think I am going to manage the property myself. 

Among several dealers, Credit Suisse, Deutsche Bank, JPMorgan Chase, and Bank of America were named as defendants.
