:P They can be pissed temporarily, but it's for their own damn good and they will have a change of attitude once they get that check, and the buyers will also be OK with it when they get those keys in-hand. 

I love your attitude.  

The family friend stopped paying after a couple years, and an attitude of entitlement set in.

I'd like to think that I generally keep a positive attitude for my goals.

My first reaction to this guy was "did you really just say that" and my second one was that I want to work with professionals who will evaluate a deal for the deal.Thanks everyone for the support, I've encountered that attitude in real estate, especially when I was a commercial broker, but I didn't expect it from an investor analyzing deal financials.  

Remember "Risk is the Likelihood of not achieving your goals"Good luck to you, I love your attitude and think you will do great in this business.

Watch out for the cynical attitudes !

we've been spoiled by having a group called fibi (for investors by investors) that was created a few years ago and has the same attitude and values aligned w bp's model. theyve grown several chapters over the yrs in so cal at least. there are one or two independently run ones w similr values n intent for the investor, but u have to search. u can find fibi on meetup.com. maybe ull be able to find similar in ur areas if u chk meetup.

That includes those with attitude issues, or inappropriate behavior.

Of course we're not perfect and had our growing pains, but I maintain a positive attitude throughout, believing "sometimes you win, sometimes you learn".
