Real Estate Investor vs Realtor(R)

[Paul Juell]

Hi everyone, Just a quick question for you... FIrst of all, I am starting out as an investor. I have invested in the past and was a licensed RE agent for about 10 years. That was several years ago. Since I had my license in the past I have decided to get it again. While in my RE classes, there seems to be a lot of resentment towards RE investors from the RE agents. What do you think causes this? Is it just a lack of understanding? Or maybe a few bad experiences? Fear/insecurity? What do you think?
