"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

Mobile homes, real estate for beginners?

I have been interested in buying and selling real estate, and have been reading up on it. There are alot of mobile homes in my area, and they usually go for a low price, and only need just a little money to fix up. This looks like a good way to build my credit and get some experience and money at the same time for bigger projects later on. Since I'm a beginner though, I wanted to get some advice from the more experienced guys on here. I'm beginning to realize that even though I'm close to graduating college, I'll still be a slave to a paycheck when I graduate, and what kind of life is that?
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

I'm checking other boards too. I just like to get opinions from everyone. Was hoping STR8UP or anyone else that's already started in real estate would drop in and give some advice.

most mobile homes don't come with the land they stand on as part of the deal, so you are only buying the mobile home not the piece of land it stands on.

Of course you could always buy a piece of land and put a mobile home there but it is more expensive. If you ain't getting the land, it ain't worth buying.
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

About mobile homes not having land. Some trailor parks have mobile homes for sale and they are on the lot. And these aren't owned by the lot onwer, just the space that they are set. And a desperate seller will be itchin to get it sold, fix it up then sell it for more. Get to know the lot onwer and you could do this over and over till you save up enough to actually buy a house and start into the meat of things.

if the mobile home is worth anything, the owner will usually buy it themselves and rent it out .

If you want advice it is smart to ask advice at the right place where people have experience on the topic.
Good attempt.....:woo:
 

"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.

You are correct.

HOWEVER....

As others have mentioned you should check out creonline for more information. There are people who have written articles there who specialize in mobile homes and if I am not mistaken they offer some course material on the subject.

I always thought mobile homes were a no-win proposition until I started reading some of the articles on how you can buy something for cash cheap and turn around and rent or sell it and make a tidy positive cash flow.

I had the opportunity to buy a mobile home on a growing highway when I first started out. It was owned by a little old lady who I poured drinks for when I was bartending. She offered it to me for $30,000 including the land. I could have EASILY rented it out for a positive cash flow. This was about 10-11 years ago. Today there is a super Wal Mart about a block away and an explosion of development directly adjacent to this property. If I owned the property in question today I could probably get at least $300,000 for it.

This is one of those deals that causes me to kick myself every time I drive by....
