With that said, I am the sole provider of my 5 person family and will be starting into my doctorate in August.

If you're targetting budget travelers Wayfair and Amazon items could work but consider higher tier items if you're targetting higher tier customers like traveling doctors or MLB/NBA players and their families

Doctors appointments are a perfect example of motivation taking over reasoning.

He choose a non-marketable degree and it does not matter if he got it from Harvard or a community college - he would still be a janitor.May take on the janitor's story is this: if you're smart enough to get accepted to a top tier university you should be smart enough to choose a degree that would virtually guarantee you a high paying job (e.g. a lawyer or a doctor).

How long can a situation where doctors, lawyers, engineers, can't even buy a mediocre house go on for?

If it a) backs up to a major road and b) has an office in it, perhaps you should market it as commercial, to attorneys, accountants, dentists, doctors, etc., many of whom run businesses out of their homes.

Btw, my future wife was married to the doctor and got married with a janinor :)We have 4 girls now 3, 5, 7, 10.Yes, it's unfortunate that many people complain about life here, I suggest to everyone to go to Belarus and see how families could live on $150/month.

A note on being polite and assertive you can do that what you just have to smile and watch your tone and don't be too aggressive.And if you shy or nervous just get over it and do it anywayThis next step is the Up Front Agreement where you basically getting the sellers to agree that they need to be 100% happy with the solution you're going to talk to them about or you're not going go forward and you don't want them to go forward just call it hey so I can work for us conversely if they are 100% happy then we're gonna get the paperwork done and move forward as we can keep coming back over and over and over again it's a waste of time and money and it's very frustrating on all parties.Different agreement does not always work but we are using it works most of the time meaning over 80to 90% of the time.What's your phone agreement has agreed to then we go through the motivation step which is basically try to find out the real motivation and what they're willing to do and how they view agent versus renting it outDiscovering their real motivation does take some time for a 60 minute sometime once you do that step really really well then the next step is really easyA note about terms deals....doing terms deals you really need to connect with the Sellers as far as your repore if you don't have good repore you're not they are not gonna trust you enough to move forwardThere is a post on bigger pockets about be the doctor when you're talking to the seller , do search the doctorThe last step after you do the motivation stop discussing many possible solutions would be subject to lease-option assignments etc. you want to go through a couple of "What If" steps Here is a what if stepMr. and Mrs.
