If you don't like it, don't do it...but don't actively wish or take delight in the fact that others MAY be failing or getting the due on sale clause exercised.

I am doing my exercise in Chapter 5: How to tell if a town will boom or bust (The 12 Keys).

Was he just putting nice numbers in for the exercise or are there traditional loans out there for investment properties?

The other challenge is usually along the same lines (often exercise, financial planning, etc.).The challenges or exercises might be things like filling out the "One Sheet" (which is basically a big spreadsheet with goals, net worth, etc).

They don't get exercised, socialized, or any type of structure.

As far as personal goals go- exercise and lose 30 pounds!

Gently to some, pretty rudely to ones I think know better.

@Gabe Gordon @Jon Holdman   I just went through this exact exercise in Mississippi this year..

Call the realtor, before you send the offer through, and let them know you intend to exercise your right to be present. 

The government wants major upgrades or new construction within these zones as to the 100% of basis requirement.I know of a few clients that are planning on exercising the significant renovation part of the code by putting in a lot more than the purchase price.
