I know that I may fail from time to time.

If all else fails you can live out in the woods out there lol.

Hi @Michael Haynes,Are you saying1) You contacted an agent to list your land (Lets call him Ted)2) Ted listed your property for you as a sellers agent3) Ted then said "Hey I kind of like it, lets talk price for me"4) Ted failed to perform 5) Ted said "Lets do this again"6) Ted failed to perform7) Ted is still trying to sell your property?

I would say over half the properties I buy are from failed out of state investors.  

It is quite easy to find people that will tell you why and how you are going to fail.  

Too Big to Fail turns into Too Big to follow Law.http://vegasinc.com/business/real-estate/2015/jun/...http://www.babc-financialservicesperspectives.com/...When one court rules against another courts ruling, which involve the defendants from that case, which is in another jurisdiction, what we find is court shopping as a way to abuse the process and go around state law.

I saw a house here a week ago where the slab is failing.  

But people generally fail to extend the logic in obvious directions.Just as people won't PAY more unless they have to, people won't PUT UP with more unless they have to.  

So you have to make sure that there is nothing that would get you into legal trouble.If the agent is failing on his/her part as far as her fiduciary duty and not getting her open houses, not getting buyers on the property, then you can urge her to contact the broker and have the contract voided and the listing agent reported to the realty board.You definitely don't want a bad rep with realtors.

@Rob Cee  from a non builder private passive investor construction loans are the most risky one could do... the risk is builder fails in the middle or ( like a builder I know ) built a home 3 inchs out of plumb.. caught at framing stage only way to fix was to tear it all down and redo it.he chose to finish it... and it looks like it should be at the Mystery spot.. doors crooked etc. house value to some one but steep discount.Liens  like here in Oregon properly filed mechanics liens are super liens...
