I like to set the bar up high for me because I do believe in my ability to achieve my set goals.

I know you didn't ask and you may already know this and agree with me, but bankruptcy is a valid and great tool ( when one knows how to use it and how to optimize it's benefits ) for borrowers to research when it comes to discharging liabilities, unsecured or secured debt, or to avoid foreclosure through a repayment plan if their goal is home retention. 

Giving up some of the equity is not always a bad thing to get what you really want to achieve.

A good free meal is great to show you appreciate their current work and effort, but do not expect it to completely change how much they’re getting done in a day.Setup a milestone payment schedule with clear bonuses that they can achieve if they beat those schedule milestones at the same level of quality.

And that didn't cost a dime to achieve.

Then you have to consider what you are trying to achieve in the deal. 

-Total dollar volume increased 12.8 percent to $3.1 billion;-The single-family home median price rose 2.2 percent to $250,000, achieving a July high;-The single-family home average price was up 2.2 percent to $312,727 – also a record high for a July;-Single-family homes months of inventory reached a 4.3-months supply, up from 4.1 months last July and just slightly below the 4.4-months supply reached in June.

I’ve been thinking how to achieve this is: pay more than 70% arv minus repairs, put half of rehab cost into consideration, while still using BRRR method.

Once you know what successful means for yourself, you will be able to build a plan and method to achieve success.

In order to achieve this, you must analyze what your competitors are doing and create something better, something outside the box and unique.
