"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.

Real estate/ finance idea?

I've purchased a list of ppl who have been denied mortgages and who are in bankruptcy. My plan is to broker deals between this demographic and FSBO, motivated sellers, and home owners having trouble selling their home.

Ideally, the homeowners will finance the sell of the home. Most sellers don't like this idea because they rather receive payment immediately. My solution is to build a relationship with private mortgage investors who are willing to buy the mortgage from the homeowner. I'm negoiating with 3 such companies and I'm not sure how much to ask in commision, maybe 7% of the purchase price? What seems fair for the amount of work I will be doing?

I understand that this will take marketing and hardwork, but what do you think of the general idea?

Heres the short version:

I bring sellers and buyers together.

I coerce owners into financing the buyer

I relieve the homeowner worries over getting paid by having an investor buy the loan from the home owner.

Buyer gets a home. Seller sells their hard to sell home and collects a down payment. Investor gets property with tenant. I received a commision of sorts for structuring the deal.
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

Why doesn't the investor simply purchase the home from the seller and rent it out?

Is there even such a thing as a "motivated seller" in the current market? I've found that it's a seller's market and sellers are getting what they want or even more for their homes.

I'd look into just how many desperate sellers are actually in your area. Also, I'd focus on attempting to find programs that are more receptive to distressed buyers. Work something into you get a fee that is paid for at closing by the buyer via 100% financing.

But to tell you the truth, I'd just purchase properties myself and hire a management firm to take care of renting the properties. That's actually more fun to me than being a middle man between buyers and sellers.

Ultimately he does simply purchase from the seller and collects on the mortgage. But without me he doesn't have knowledge of the deal, I'm the glue that brings everyone to the table on favorable terms.

investor- gets property and a paying occupent.

seller- gets cash up front and rids himself of a hard to sell property.

license?

Hey self,

Do you have a real estate license?

You can not play the 'game', you are talking about, without a valid RE license....

"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.

Quite a few. I can use my own neighborhood as an example, house in my hood go for 280-320, we have 3 homes for sell, 2 have been on the market for around 2 yrs, the homeowner of the third home has a big sign that says owner financing available and has been on the market for at least a year. I know my hood isnt a microcosm for the whole city, but it does show a trend.

I reallly would love to find away to exploit the pre-foreclosure market. My city has the 4th highest rate of foreclosure in the nation.

Also, I'd focus on attempting to find programs that are more receptive to distressed buyers. Work something into you get a fee that is paid for at closing by the buyer via 100% financing.
I was thinking about this before I posted, but need to figure out a fee that is favorable to both parties.

thanks fo' replying

Your right about the license, I called my states real estate ommision this morning and they suggested that I obtain a liense, which fks my money up more than my plan. I also asked them what was the penalty of operating without a license and the lady on the phone said "fine." Lucky for me my father has been licensed for the last 15 yrs and is studying for a brokers license, if I pursue a license he'll give me a good split. If a deal comes along before I sort out all of this I'm willing to take a risk.:woo: :woo: :woo:

If you're planning to broker real estate, yeah, you probably should get a license. Fortunately, they're easy to get. It's a week-long course and an exam.
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

rat eat rat

Self.....

There are several problems here:

1....It is 'dog eat dog' and 'rat eat rat' in the real estate field, because:

"There is a broker on every corner."

2....9 out of every 10 brokers are crooks , cheats and liars.

Don't take my word for it----check it out...

You will get an damnnnn education.... (it is a dirty field)
