Everybody else gets the cold shoulder because there are 50 people submitting offers.

I'm sure you have a lot going on in your life to not want to take the world's problems on your shoulders. 

If it's lower than that- call it 80% - then the residents would shoulder a burden of $5400/year in heating costs instead of ownership paying $3000/year. 

However, I personally prefer to avoid any statement that can be misconstrued by the reader because the world is full of people with chips on their shoulder just waiting to be offended by something.

Are you needing someone to run the numbers and have you look over their shoulder while they do it?

If I do want to put myself in that place, and I did when I was younger, am I willing to shoulder the risk that comes with doing so?

I know I couldn't stand the thought of someone looking over my shoulder and I always politely turn down any asking of mentoring or shadowing me 3.

I did have surgery on my shoulder recently and I'm off of work for 4 months, I have been doing lots of reading about real estate investing and actually found classes coming up to become an agent.My goal in being an agent is to gain more knowledge with the processes of buying/selling houses.

But you'll want to make sure you have some smarts on your shoulders.

Thankfully we have W-2 jobs and can afford to keep the bat on our shoulder until the right deal comes along.
