Hopefully one would not be swayed by the rah rah herd mentality I personally witnessed at some of these seminars I attended.

Look throughout the Palin thread and you will see every attack on her by every self-proclaimed and self-evident liberal is laced with the "we are smarter" mentality.

Buying and predicting what the area will be like 20 years down the road is the number 1 rule.I agree with the mentality that they are not saying you need a "crystal ball".

If I were to stick to your mentality, I wouldn't even be able to buy clothes at the mall because I'd only be 'benefiting the company' by buying clothes.

Thus, real estate owners can benefit from both the gain deferral under section 1031 for real estate exchanges and the enhanced cost recovery deductions of the cost segregation study.

I am also from an old school mentality on what the 401k is for, (Retirement).

Go harder and do at least 100 deals(10x Rule)6) Continue learning different investing strategies & improve myself psychically, mentally, and financially. 

I will add to those comments by saying that since the property has been standing there since 2009, I am positive that your offer is not the first one that he has grappled with mentally and rejected in like fashion.

Now that I think about it, I really think they should really classify it as a mental disorder.

I know that historical results does not dictate future performance, but my mentality was that if I can get at least half of its average returns in the last 5 years, I would be a few multiples over what the highest interest-earning savings account would produce.
