Everyone says to do your homework but in the end some of it is still a gamble.

I got such a thrill out of it that I even read it to my wife!

It's early and I am not thrilled with that last sentence buy you get the idea. 

Mixing up your messages before you have top of mind awareness is a foolish gamble.

Inheritance list is too much of a gamble.

I guess it's a gamble for sellers to push for a lower % unless they've previously worked with that agent and know at what level they perform. 

I do not know the laws and do not have a solution short term but I am thinking, if you can set clear expectations with him how it will play out, he may realize that he is gambling with the idea of free rent verse forbearance.

I'm sure the neighbors are thrilled to have that eyesore cleaned up, too. 

Not only that, the properties I want to buy don't cash flow anymore, so I'm gambling on equity.

:(Ultimately comfort, location, and amenities of a SFH in the area we liked most won over trying to reduce costs and live in areas we weren't thrilled in and with tenants.
