Mostly because it's literally the polar opposite from anything I've ever done (or my body has ever done).

@Michelle FennAll HUD bids are reviewed by a human. 

One time he told me that the only way he will move out is when he is in the body bag xD.Do you go to any REI meetups you can recommend? 

It seems like people like the idea of investing in passive real estate but any body that I've met (so far) that actually has 60-100k available is very conservative and seem to stay on the side of caution when it's time to deal.What can I do to lock in private money for future deals?

Read everything you can get your hands on and listen to the BP Podcast as much as humanly possible (driving, showering, eating, working out, etc.)

These could become great deals, if the wait-time means the seller is now more motivated.Also, sometimes a great deal gets hidden due to human error.

No body held a gun to your head when you bought this property.

I mean putting away everything with important information on it and such, airbnb doesn't attract thieves but if its human nature to poke around if you're in a place for an extended amount of time and you build up a curiosity about your host. good luck!

The other part of it is that human behavior is largely controlled by 2 emotions: one of which is fear.

I've been absorbing as much info as humanly possible for the past year about multi-family.
