Basically, how do I mentally prepare myself for their potential moving?

If that's true, I would dive into podcasts/audiobooks while driving/doing chores etc while simultaneously focusing on tightening the belt to save cash for a down payment and cleaning up your credit.Then when opportunity strikes you will be both mentally and financially prepared to jump!

LOL, well if I didn't mention the caution in the other thread, I will here.Dealing with people in a nursing home is very tricky and I just don't suggest it since mental competence will be in question.

I'm just interested in getting a mental picture of what's out there, to be honest.

it was a family member with serious mental issues. house is the worst in a great location ARV 400-425K. about 100K of rehab. potential of about 50K in profit or about 7500$ in Wholeselling it.

Please don't tell me I have a lack mentality.

Peter,As you stated in other posts, you must get over the "overly conservative" mentality, better known in the REI circle as the fear factor.Not to say that being conservative is entirely bad, but you must find a happy middle which enables taking action!

I'm of retirement age having spent 30 years in the field of child and family, and adult mental health, in various capacities, and about a decade in the timber industry as a helicopter logger, timber cruiser, fire fighter, etc.

-It's my job to get the repairs done as quickly as possible so I can close the deal -Have the buyer get involved in the repairs and upgrades because it's their house so that they can take mental and emotional ownership the more they are emotionally involved in making it "their home" the more copperative they'll be if any problems arise.

What I like about Kiyosaki's books is that you're taught the mental and emotional fortitude necessary to be successful and wealthy.
