Yes, it is quite a challenge especially in the countries where they are "more relaxed" :))) - like the South of Europe :DHowever, I am just at the point where I am pretty confident in choosing my PM company to make it easy.

I think it did help that I felt pretty confident that I could do the rehab myself and if it was paid for in cash, there did not have to be a rush to finish.

I didn't get any confidence that China is going to overtake us any time soon or that there is a need to rush and buy their currency.The debate about currency comes up every week on this board and we still have had no credible evidence that wild currency swings are imminent IMO.

Sort of a "learn at the feet of the master" kind of relationship...The second thing, though, is that they ought to provide you with confidence, and to some degree even motivation.

I cannot in good conscience sell it or give it out as I received it in confidence.

Put earnest money down according to how confident you are in the deal, then try to wholesale it.

Going on meetings with unmotivated sellers quickly built my confidence up and allowed me to succeed when I encountered genuinely motivated sellers.

If you know what they are looking for specifically, it is much easier to get a house under contract with confidence.

So you are not confident enough that it is a deal to put your own money into it, and yet you have promised the seller that you will find a buyer and are perfectly happy to use another buyer as a guinnea pig to see if it is a good deal!?

You feel lost, hopeless and have no idea how you're going to survive this let alone how to even begin breaking yourself free to engage your dream of real estate.There is a way.Even if you are a minimum wage janitor you can position yourself to be better able to save money on the side for investing and to improve your income.First things first.
