We have learned to turn lemonades into lemonade.

We have to have diets where we lose 10 pounds in  two weeks, and the late night infomercials tell us we can get rich quick. 

I drive around in the not so good neighborhoods, and no they're not jumping to sell always, I let them sip a lemonade and tell me all their problems and pretty soon they start to thinking 140K will solve all their problems (normally they own it outright)...and we pull contract out right there and sign...1 week later money is in their hands....takes a bit of time...but definately worth it.You're right...prices are high here, I'm an hr from LA so not as high as down there....300K for a decent house....that is why it's such a good deal...by the time they figure out what they could have got for it....title is in my name, and rehab has already begun.

Time to make lemonade from lemons.

Lemonade from lemons (getting fired).

You have a much better chance of finding an opportunity and structuring for profit as well as more time to find funding from outside sources, if that's important.It's all about turning lemons into lemonade.

@Jermaine Perry Just go on the Dave Ramsey diet.

If sales is running a lemonade stand then property management is akin to running a fortune 500 company.

I really want to turn this into lemonade fromt the lemons it is in right now.Thanksjohn

It is technically possible for me to become an astronaut, but I'm pretty happy just sitting on the front porch drinking lemonade (or a beer, if you don't like lemonade).
