If this is your final takeaway from all the comments in this thread, then you are either misinterpreting and misunderstanding everything or you are being stubborn and regardless of what anyone states, plan on sticking to your opinion.

Some have chosen to divert from the point he was attempting to make in order to respond with self-righteous statements of grandeur and non-judgement of others.FYI- proclaiming yourself above the use of a word instead of just responding to the question isn't just self-righteous, its also very telling.There is a difference between people being firm in their beliefs and self-righteous, there is nothing wrong with being firm and confident...but if you really are then you don't need the "Shut up and listen to me" attitude that turns if from one to the other.I have found VERY FEW who are arrogant and stubborn are also successful and if they are telling you flat out thats how they are with their attitude on display, you should thank them for not wasting your time.

If you buy at this high point and the driving factor was investors, if the investors stop coming you may see a stubborn market that corrects or even crashes.I do think many markets are bloated and have been for some time.

The cost of not replacing these things are losing 1-3 months of rent to escrow, the pains and problem that may be additionally identified during inspections, and finding a new project manager to pretend to maintain this property for you.As someone who values our relationship, I am committed to being honest with you and want you to know of the negative impact this stubbornness is having on me.

Sometimes REO property is listed above fair market value, where the bank is stubbornly clinging to the idea of being made whole on the defaulted loan.

Sometimes a stubborn seller isn't really ready to let go right now---no matter WHAT they say.
