I was not properly prepared for the combination of my work schedule (full time - surprise week of travel), holiday prep (gifts, 5 separate school performances for the kids, kids sports/logistics, hosting new years party), finalizing my engagement plans, and the increase of contact with possible sellers (formulating my first offers ever).  

Hey @John Asare, like you I workout as well and have a sports background (checkout my profile for full story).

It could appreciate but I consider that gambling.

Less than five minutes walk from the beach, a fishing pier, sporting equipment rentals, a grocery store, and it's next door to a year-round diner.

Garrett Gamble I do have a couple that I’ve personally used.

But Action without knowledge is a gamble.  

So basically in a situation like this it is a gamble as to what the city will settle for.

But before someone thinks they would have to have ALL of that before pulling off a deal, let me just tell you a quick story.About 15 years ago, I had a dream of opening up an indoor sports arena.  

Dont drink, dont smoke, dont gamble.

It wastes my time, the other agents time and the buyer and sellers time as I need to present all offers.If I was going to go to a casino to gamble (I don't), I could keep putting money into a slot machine and I might hit a big one but will probably go home broke.
