I'd like the chance to talk with you, I might have some solutions or ideas for you to accomplish your goal.

Before we can come up with the right solution, we need to get a grip on how all of this works.

If a problem arises, identify the right solution as quickly as possible, and communicate the issue and the solution to your investors in the recap email.

There are many solutions.

Since you can’t control the other parties needs, wants, expectations, desires, etc. a great part of the success in concluding a deal is out of your control.My advise may be different than what many others would suggest; I would determine what price and terms make it a good deal for me, and then try to determine if that would also make it a good deal for the seller, based on his needs and wants.I’ve never been comfortable with the “let’s work out a mutually beneficial solution” approach, though that approach is in vogue, and some people have had success with that approach.Over a 40 plus year real estate career, investing my money in over 500 deals in which I was the primary deal maker, I have found it much easier, efficient and profitable to make an offer based on my wants, and let the seller respond.

Hi Dave,Thanks for the creative solutions. 

I definitely get the TIME constraint.My solution was to start waking up at 430am or earlier . . . it works!

In a standard scenerio, I would suggest calling a few more times, text and email, but also start looking for alternative solutions so you dont lose the deal. 

The thing about any project is defining the problems and finding a solution that solves that problem. 

Focus on the positive changes you can make based on your experience.You have to re-train your brain here, which takes practice: whenever you sense a negative thought percolating, you need to change it to a more solution-focused question in the present & future.For example, instead of typing "I regret not sharing with the coinvestors who turned out to be able to finagle extra income to pay for ground-up two units", try "How can I better understand my coinvestors' preferred and stretch budget limits?"
