Like some of you have said, there is no way to protect yoruself frome very posible situation or hazard but the feedback I am getting makes me realize I need to continue to anaylize and improve on my lease yearly-which I will make a part of my process moving forward.  

Lots of analysis/caveats/personal sacrifice goes into this I realize, but let's not delve into that.

I realize it's summer now.

I was there this past week and didn't realize Charlotte had grown so much.

a few weeks ago i realized something that @Brandon Turner mentioned in a recent podcast - I seem to learn something about real estate almost every day. i have met with numerous members from BP and other sites, so thought it would be good to list the things i learn as i go.- if you have a wholesale deal, dont name your asking price, let the buyer name the price.  

I realize that your anger and hurt is probably about past experiences or current situations and not about my mailing.

Even at a good discount off of list price, it's tough to get down around $100K.I realize the 50% rule and 2% rule are just guidelines, but most SF properties I look at are coming in at a 6-7% return when I run them through an analysis calculator.  

That way you could still realize a few dollars and strengthen a relationship.Good luck.Stephen 

It's only when realizing you rally are not satisfied with the status quo that you get your big boy pants on and go do it. 

I realize it's a leap to think I can get the property for x price, or not having accurate rehab costs, but those are things I would really look into more closely during a contingency period.I'm trying to work past this whole 'paralysis by analysis' syndrome I'm currently in, but I'm having a hard time trusting myself on these numbers when the house has been sitting for months and much savvier investors than me haven't scooped it up.Thanks for any opinions
