I’m talking about time away from friends or family, the pressure of balancing a full-time job, stress of being a single parent, or forgoing dream vacations or shiny sports cars.

They should use your hose to wash it out after draining completely before doing a thorough inspection.

If you do decide to borrow from family be very careful, be sure they want to lend money and you are not pressuring them. 

I wanted to buy it as and FHA owner occupied a couple months back, they actually originally refused because they had found a potential tenant for the third apartment (even though they were supposedly all filled) and said I needed to make an offer within 48hrs (I was out of state for the weekend, this was at about 11am on a Saturday, and they required "a very strong offer" by 5pm Monday) I didn't go for it because I wasn't into the pressure. 

I'm looking to purchase another property (SFH) in the next 6 months along with a partner, and am feeling the pressure of doing so with other people's money.

It is now my only rental, but I'm interested in more.Anyway, the house has low water pressure and the tenants this year complained.

Real estate agents are the only professionals who don't get paid up front for their services ----- no respect from buyers and sellers  -------Your best client is yourself -------- and you'll make lots more money when you are the buyer and you are the client ----- don't get brained washed by brokers and others who want you to work for NOTHING - you are or will be a very savvy investor and agent, one in demand - be selective with whom you take on to work with - your are the pro - so act like one - get a good education or mentor. 

Subsurface water which enters the basement or foundation of a building due to hydro-static pressure is excluded from coverage.

Observe, don't bid.Carefully watch others, listen to their conversation Inspect the property - listen to others as they inspect the house, observe how careful they are, checking water pressure, looking at water marks, cob webs, negative things -- trying to jestify a price or deciding that it's something they don't want. 

LOL you know what I mean.. did not last long for my moral compass.when I actually did deals at street level.. as an agent I have to say I was taught by some of the best in the business  ( land salemen)... at the end of the transaction my clients would say you know I bought from you because your not high pressure.. although I led them through each phase in a way they simply did not realize it.. with the kind of tack you talking about and how to lead a conversation..
