Sellers will not entertain you as you cannot show the ability to close  Again, show props that could be a deal to someone doing them Good luck

I think it would also be wise to check out the Bigger Pockets Money Podcast if you haven't already; Scott and Mindy provide timeless advice and it's very entertaining.

Also, the city is quietly booming - new businesses, new entertainment center, new community center and the developers have come back.Utilities are much expensive in Maricopa - water, gas and electricity.  

At the club there is a dining facility, kitchen and bar and frequent entertainment.

...when your friends ask you how you're doing, and you tell them how many properties you've viewed and offered on this week....when you're invited to your agent's birthday party of close friends....when you enjoy tenant applicant calls from CL because you think they are entertaining, not annoying....you enjoy bullet-proofing a rental property so tenants can't destroy it.

I'm sure they will get a buyer between 500-600, and I'd be downright shocked if they ever entertained 400k, but you lose every battle you don't enter, right?

I can move the house quickly for this price, and probably hit average DOM at this price, but it's a complete waste of time to entertain this delusional fantasy price you just stated. 

The podcast shows make long travel and commutes productive and entertaining. 

The city will be negatively affected if they do not diversify their product offering which is reflected in the reduction in gambling revenues and the increased emphasis by major casinos on entertainment (nightclubs and bars) as well as restaurants/shopping.Sukhbir
