With that being said, in Connecticut, when we purchased a building and had a tenant that was in the process of being evicted and was going to leave on their own, our attorney felt comfortable with the tenant signing the below AND returning the keys.Dear Landlord of [ADDRESS],I, [TENANT], residing at [ADDRESS] am giving formal written notice that I have vacated my apartment at [ADDRESS] and will NOT be returning.Sincerely,[TENANT]______________________________ ______________________________Signature                                         DateAgain, please don't take this as legal advice without consulting an attorney, and this also goes back several months, so it's possible I am having a slight mental lapse if our attorney mentioned anything else. :)Good luck.

He has a history of severe mental issues and is diagnosed bipolar with schizophrenic tendencies, all of which I did now about when I signed the lease.

And isnt really mentally available either. 

We have all mentally gotten a project completed or goal achieved for the price we want for a property or return...then all the sudden we move the goal posts.

Mentally filing that away.

What personal hurdles (mental, financial, or otherwise) did you overcome to close your first deal?

That might have been the hardest physical/mental thing to do... lol. 

Kind of a tough one since he's mentally spent all the money before he's even gotten it.

If you have this scarcity mentality where you think there is a limited amount of deals out there or if you think other wholesalers are out there to "screw you over" you're never gonna get very far in this business.On the other hand, if you have an abundance mentality and realize that there will always be a plentiful amount of deals out there, and that working with as many other wholesalers as you can will benefit you more than you can imagine, you will be able to make soooo much more money in this business.You can only flip so many houses as an individual wholesaler.

Maintaining a state of eternal readiness to act, while mentally tiring, can lead to major unexpected site savings, as today's case study will describe.No More Sewer Lift StationsHaving identified the job site as a shallow service location, we budgeted an additional $2500, plus significant inconvenience factor for install of sewer lift stations.
