From there, write your why down somewhere where you will see it everyday and remind yourself why you want to achieve success.

Folks still write paper checks or send you payments via bill pay?

the ONLY feedback is going to generally be negative and frustrate the seller.On my high end flips in Charleston  IE 1.5 mil to 2.0 mil there is a on line feedback from the showing agents that comes to us automatically our listing agent sets that up.. and as stated its more frustrating than helpful.IE 1. did you like the home                          No or yes if they dont write an offer its NO2. is it priced right                                  If they dont write an offer of course its priced too HIGH3. things you liked                                  House is nice but not a fit for our family4. things you did not like                        did not like the color of the Primary bedrooms bathroom and on and on.So bottom line if your not selling your over priced .. if its an odd floor plan or anything like that you should as the owner and with your brokers help understand that  and that its an impediment.. 

I could spend a few days writing to you about this, reflecting on my own regrets of the past twenty-five years and how I wish I could go back and do what Scott Trench suggested, but you need the book more than you need me talking about the book. 

Basically, have a system in place and in writing.

Notifying in writing the relevant participants in a sale intending to squeeze you out (seller, would-be buyer, any title company considering handling that transfer) as what you intend to file/record and do is the best way to prevent that sale.No title company who receives notice of competing contracts will close with either buyer until the situation is "resolved" ... by resolved I mean the attorney involved will consider all the docs and facts and may decide that closing with either is not worth the risk.It depends upon where you and property are but just as an fyi title companies around here (East coast) don't represent clients or file things for them. 

If I want to get rid of all regulations, insurance, HOA fee, bylaw, etc, and write a 1-page HOA doc such as "There is no association.  

In my leases I clearly write and explain to tenants that we will remediate any issues uncovered in the 1st 30 days at our own expense.

@Christian Espana, If you have no cash flow then. you probably are not able to take advantage of depreciation write off as well. 

I would also make sure I gave him that in writing.
