I just can do without all the fluff and emotion.

Homeowners buy on emotion which leads to holes in their pockets while investors look at the numbers.

The hardest thing to do when you see everyone buying and talking about the home run they just scored but a disciplined investor should use common sense and numbers, not emotion.

There is something about this topic that is bypassing logic and tapping into deep emotion for its transparently spurious false-equivalency arguments. 

But Don is by far one of the top 5 on BP in non emotional hyperbole etc postings and is a wicked smart business man  better to get to know him is my advice.  

So, we find the situation emotional and difficult to do any work on it.

I have always been a proponent of free market solutions to real world problems and there is no emotion involved in the calculation of economic equilibrium.John’s situation is a reminder that the hardworking people who service America will increasingly struggle to afford life’s basic necessity of shelter, and this reality has second and third order economic effects that reach far beyond John.The affordable housing crisis is not just about struggling blue collar workers and single mothers….it threatens the stability and economic prosperity of our entire society.

I know I should leave my emotions out of it haha. 

Code Chapter 47 - Fraud And False Statements, which is a very boring read, unless it applies to you.Please don’t do that.Make sure your Proof of Funds source has the funds and that you are authorized to use those funds and the source will vouch for you in court.If you are going to buy “Turnkey” it is recommended you visit the actual neighborhood and actual house before closing.Things can be very different in person.Afterwards is too late.You may not like what you seeGo with the Math, not the emotions or hopes of the futureIf you are losing money with the hopes of making it up later, you should seriously reconsider.Wishful thinking is a poor investment.Interest rates are going upAnd interest rates are going down.And interest rates are remaining the same.There is no clear direction for rates and there are arguments for going each direction – buy so that your property cash flows, even if you are wrong.Ignoring your workers.Always serve your workers pizza on the job.It keeps them on-site so they don’t wander offThey will think you actually care and will work harderYou get to become “one of the boys” and they will tell you things you need to knowHmmm, out of space, but not out of mistakes. 

I am actually in the middle of discovering that process myself, and it has been a roller coaster of emotion, but I have started feeling experiences of how trust in other people can get you achieving the objectives faster than we think.I have got several off-market deals in Central Texas currently available, and can help you learn a thing or two about our market down here, and more than happy to refer you to folks in Illinois.
