This isn't HGTV and I am not some Guru, I am a 40 year old dad with two kids that is tired of working 50 hours a week so someone else can get rich.

I got tired of borrowing my friend's trailer and could't find a decent used one.

Some say "cash only" because they mean it. they don't have time to wait or they are tired of dealing with the lending process.Somewhere in the financing section of your offer you would put that you are using hard money.

So tired of my job.

Has anyone ever actually tired using his system or signed up for his mentoring program and use his team to buy real estate?

The owner at that point was just tired and ready to make a realistic deal.  

I am very interested in making this a career because I have grown tired of being in the navy.

I was tired of all the booms and busts of the stock market and I wanted to have a property that would be there even it dropped it price.

If you uncover that answer, it may shed some light on the investment (maybe it's good info and it satisfies my skeptical approach)I have found the biggest three seller motivations (with landlords) are:1) Tenants are subpar and current owner is tired of managing (in this, you're inheriting headaches, eviction, and much higher repair costs than you expect). 2)  An estate took over and just wants to get it gone (in which case there is probably a back balance owed that needs to be flushed out along with a general lack of property knowledge). 3)  My personal favorite: the Owner bought via tax sale deed (and therefore does not want to be a landlord, just wants his investment + reasonable return).If everything checks out, it sounds like a great deal bud.  

Tired of hearing people say "the Raiders are coming" as a reason to overprice their land.
