It's frustrating to be taken advantage of at the end of the lease.

Most people think oh I'm going to start a wholesaling business and make tons of money and they get frustrated and quit after spending a few hundred bucks on marketing and talking to 20 sellers.

Hey Rafael - thanks for the input, no offense taken...a little back story: I found an investor to buy the seller's remaining inventory 15 months ago for 4.2MIL, which the seller declined...since then, prices have dropped further, and now the seller is willing to take 3.3MIL...but now my investors are only willing to go as high as 2.4MIL, which he delined again...so the frustration comes from putting real offers into the seller's hands, and him balking waiting for the "pie in the sky" deal...he could have been done with this 15 months ago had he taken the 4.2, where now he would gladly accept that...problem is, market changed again, and he's not being realistic...so believe me, I did concern myself with the seller throughout this whole process, trying to get him the best deal I could, while still being fair to the investors...seller just seems to have unrealistic expectations, so my thought was to now see if I could go straight to the bank, and see if they maybe could help "convince" the seller to take what is being offered...you know, maybe hearing it from another source might strike a chord...in any event, since I started this post, the seller seems to be a bit more willing to discuss and compromise his position, and we are scheduled for a call in a couple hours with both potential buyer and seller.Keeping my fingers crossed...Thanks for your honest opinion...

You will have a much better chance at actually closing the deal, especially in hot market areas.I have seen many agents jump into getting their license just to find properties for themselves (in Austin) and they get frustrated with the the competition because they lack the expertise to negotiate and WIN the deal, let alone maneuver difficulties that may arise., which happens often.In the end, they are not getting the best deals for themselves, like they had hoped.

If that frustrates you then you’re in the wrong business.

I echo the other comments as far as watching in frustration as my servicer fails to get anywhere over the course of months, followed by us contacting the borrower directly and coming to a win-win agreement within hours or days. 

@Mike Lambert I bought my first property in Costa Rica back in 2017 but found the inability to finance purchases frustrating.

As a fellow Bay Area resident, I know the frustrations that you're currently facing.

This is one of the frustrating realities when you want to BRRRR commercial deals.

He said everything has been great from their point of view, but that the tenant they placed gets frustrated sometimes with the whole AirBnb arrangement.
