Originally I was building these for year round rentals as we are in desperate need for long term housing on the Outer Banks to say the least.

I guess my greatest beef with most gurus (not all, some are actually honest and straightforward, and even offer marginally beneficial advice) is the following1- they’re dishonest in numerous ways2- completing their training in no way qualifies the student to earn money or even perform competently in real property field3- the techniques they teach are often harmful to the people their students deal with4- they unleash a horde of unprepared, unqualified, unknowledgeable, misguided and unaware newbies on an unsuspecting pool of desperate homeowners5- they sell the song that all formal education is a waste of time and money6- they never provide any audited proof that they have been successful in real estate investing7- they encourage people to pay for a mentorship plan they can’t afford by increasing the limit on their credit cards8- they create falsified accounts to post how great their program is9- their programs are packaged by professional seminar companies out of Provo, Utah or Las Vegas, Nevada10- they disparage people who have spent years accumulating the knowledge, experience and capital necessary to be successful in real estate11- SOME gurus teach techniques which are unethical, immoral and even illegal. 

Life.A deal I've been working on for close to 3 months is suddenly falling apart and I am in 'desperate' need of a hard money lender that operates in the Chicago area.The property is a 2-unit owned free and clear that was bought three years ago (around the time I made my last post!)

Luckily, I still had Jerry’s number and could call him if I was in desperate need of guidance.

I'm not sure whether it's easier to believe she got past by screening somehow or if this is a case of a woman who was doing fine and had recently become desperate for some reason.

Never be desperate to close a deal.  

Blasting your feed with  those stupid messages will only make you look like a vulture desperate and unprofessional!

Have to get a off market deal from a desperate seller. 

@Aaron HoakBeside others valuable advises I would try to increase the buyer agent comission and add a bonuse instead of dropping the price...surely will get buyer agents more motivated and you will get an offer soon...also could saves you money as compared to dropping the price again giving indication that there is something wrong or being desperate to sell infront of the buyers.Good Luck

I bought it less than a year ago, so they are getting pretty desperate on finding deals to pay cash for....I got a yellow letter recently offering me 85% of the market value blindly, without ever seeing the inside of my house to know the shape its in.. just dont understand how these investors can get this desperate with all the signs of a downturn about to happen in the future.
