I'll be out here building a portfolio and helping people out of tough situations while you sit there with your fingers crossed rooting for it.

@Crystal Alleyne-love meeting other boss ladies! 

Not a bad place to be actually but as far as passing on the business doubtful the kids will work their fingers to the bone as their parents did and will just let it slip away and spend on whatever.

What's missing from much of this discussion is a real understanding of what the property is, ten acres in the heart of upstate New York Finger Lakes wine country, the desirability of that property as a vacation property on the one hand and the value of it as a vineyard on the other, and how local government (especially Yates County) is systematically trying to fight against the encroachment of moneyed OOS vacation-home buyers/STR operators  in the area.This is not some bland normal place where normal people live and operate.

I asked about a recent deal, and he was proud to tell me he’s just in the middle of his first.A local RE broker found an “old lady” who owned her home free and clear but with $83k in back taxes owed.

Now in our hang over we want to wag a finger and blame blame blame.

The next day I decide to go to the mobile home to meet the lady and to inquire about the home. 

Everyone can just point the finger at someone else.With a true turnkey model "one stop shop" per se, the penny drops with the turnkey provider and only they are to blame as most genuine turnkey providers will put their name and reputation behind their product/operation.Just my opinion.Thanks 

Keeping my fingers crossed!

Turns out the $65k offer was the lady in the back of the house.
