A flyer has as much sophistication as an invitation to an ice cream social at a church, or a donation to the school sports program for a car wash.The letters I receive inviting me to investment seminars from estate planners and investment brokers are on stationary, not copy paper, much less some garbage colored letter.

I tell people upfront hard this sport is - gurus do the opposite.

We have another house on Paseo Pinzon, Capo Beach (Dana Point), and there are multi million dollar homes on the bluffs which is 1 house away from us and across street (you can see map) There's also a celeb sports person that bought, and has friends looking at our property.

I want to primarily learn and become familiar with the process, the terminology - and the pitfalls.Please be patient with me and thank you all for being good sports and sharing a wealth of knowledge based on experience.Best RegardsSteve

If I bought it subject to, assuming he has a 5% loan, I could pay $80-$81K and still wholesale it for $5K.But I'm not in your market and my buyers don't buy where you are.As for his asking price, every time a seller tells me what they want, I think about what I want; and that is to wake up and find a brand new high end sports car sitting in the 5 car garage of my 5,000 sq/ft house with a large in-ground swimming pool (I don't really want any of that, but it is just to prove a point).

Oh, also has a 1 car garage, might be able to rent that out for a little bit of extra a month to someone that needs storage or space for a sports car.

Yet somehow, baseball players, teams, and the sport as a whole keep moving along and doing well.

Life is truly weird sometimes, cards get dealt, and you gotta play the hand you are dealt.I'm a big fan of Robert Kiyosaki's "Rich Dad" books, and within' the philosophy, Robert teaches that there are 4 quarters to the "game of life".Age 25-35: 1st quarterAge 35-45: 2nd quarterAge 45-55: 3rd quarterAge 55-65: 4th quarterAge 65+: OvertimeAge 70: out of time...The goal of the this "game" (in order to win) your passive income is greater than your expenses - putting you what Robert calls "out of the rat race".If you think about it - many great sporting events are won in the last quarter - and given that you are still in YOUR FIRST quarter, it may give you some solace and encouragement to realize that you still have time to completely rebuild and succeed!

This is not a game or sport.
