"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"
She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

As for the foreclosure, you will be dealing with the bank, so your finance options are going to be limited to banks and private money. Negotiate a lower price. Remember that banks are not in the buisiness of holding real estate.
Once you acquire the house you can either fix it up and rent it out, or sell it outright.
But doing that requires extensive knowledge, hence the mentor.
Get one.
Why couldn't he buy the house with cash? Don't listen to stooges being filled up with guru's garbage. The real estate community is filled with them, very similar to the PUA community. There is no right or wrong answer, just know that where there is a will there is a way, especially when it comes to creative real estate financing.
elite7, you're obviously very inexperienced in real estate. I would suggest reading books and finding somebody who has done well in real estate and pick their brain. There will be plenty of foreclosures on the market for years to come.

Let me elaborate a little more on what exactly my mentor is charging me $100 per month for.Stud said:
The $100 per month is more for a "club membership", where we meet twice a month and focus on whatever real estate strategy it is that we've set out to learn. We also have access to the forms and documents required for doing these transactions, and they have been approved by a real estate attorney (even then, I still run the docs by my own attorney). Since I'm still a beginner, he guides me through my first few deals, and we've agreed to share a portion of the check. He also double-checks my research on properties.
So we're both making money (win-win situation), and I'm getting PAID to be educated in real estate. Compare that to college, where I'm going into DEBT to learn something that won't pay nearly as well as what I'm doing now. In spite of that I'm still going to college part-time, but for a different reason than money.
You may be able to find a mentor that will take you under his wing for free, or even get paid for it.
There's nothing wrong with buying the house with cash, and it's entirely possible. But tying up your cash in one property will make it challenging to put your money elsewhere. You can buy one property with all cash, or five similar properties with a 20% down payment on each one.
There are tons of gurus out there, and unlike pickup, you need to consult with your attorney regarding your local laws, because what works in Washington may be illegal in other states, and vice versa. Use your common sense, and don't get put into prison for a white collar crime.
But as Stud said, read, read, read books, and meet with experienced investors.
As you already know, the best way to learn something is by learning from a mentor, and going out and actually doing it yourself.

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."
Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.
Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?
You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.
Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.
