sounds like as a FSBO the owner is getting closer to reality with his asking price. 

The examples of some really successful investor who didn't go to school.All is totally irrelevant, they were then, this is now, you're 19, things will be even more different in 10 years, so these arguments and past examples have no bearing on what you'll be facing.RE investing, or a job in RE that many call investing, is not easy nor is it a real paycheck, most live from deal to deal for a long time. 80% fail in 2 years and go flip burgers or something else, RE is probably the most over hyped area of opportunities for young people, you need a bit of reality and not fall into some dream pipeline.I'm not saying you must have a college degree, but you will be better served with one.

@matthew @Matthew Harper interesting approach - if you identify that it's reality then I'd love to know the source so I can have them on my show as well. 

So the reality is I need to look for the long term at least until my credit and/or my cash flow increases.

Then, in reality, the value was assessed and the half equity was actually due from the other.

Sometimes boards need to be brought back to reality.  

However, reality set in with my second deal, when I lost $20k.  

I love working with investors to uncover the perfect property that will be turned into a gem for the next buyer, and I am a great listener who will turn your wish list into a reality.

I've also watched HGTV to get a gist of what surprises to expect during renovations (I know, it's reality TV but it was helpful information nonetheless and a good starting point).

I reality, you may conduct business until you get caught, your position will pretty much be what the Real Estate Commission says it is and they will determine the consequences.
