I don't want to turn them off by saying the wrong thing and making them feel like it is just some letter sent by a we buy houses company.

It is even less likely the guru has the answers for your very specific geography, property type, local practices, norms  and your niche....for better or worse, the self help market has blurred into real estate somewhat (at a very high mark up, too)...so if you need the inspiration, perhaps pair the practical real estate books with some best selling motivational ones at the used bookstore for under one hundred dollars bucks....

The Fred Factor by Mark Sanborn..It's a quick read, but inspiring!  

So when negotiating, would DG say (a.) we are using a preferred building, (b.) the cost will be $X, (c.) the land is valued at $Y, and therefore, we are willing to pay a corresponding return to you of 7%? 

I found Mark’s story fun, informative, and inspiring...can relate to loving your day job but wanting the freedom and stability that come with real estate investment - no W2 job is “safe” these days.

I think finding the inspiration behind you wanting to invest is the best way to justify your moves in the market.I hope this helps and good luck on your investing! 

On the pro account - I do not mind supporting the site, considering the value it is already adding (at least for me) in education and inspiration.

Very helpful and inspiring.

With 1 vacancy there is only $211 cash flow as it stands now which doesnt inspire confidence to me, or am I wrong.

I couldn't agree more, very inspirational.
