Unsolicited advise
What is it with people when they provide an unsolicited advise?
My insurance agent (who does not won any income property) when I came to insure the property, started to tell me that it's much better to own commercial RE, and that residential tenants are dirtbags and are only looking for ways to scam the landlords.
Or a lady at work (who rents herself) who advised to stay away from tenants of certain race cause all of them trash the property. She knows cause her fiend's husband is working as a maintenance man in an apt building. AND - I better listen to her valuable advise if I want no troubles.
I politely nod and move on. But what is it with people when they provide the BS advise thinking they're doing you a favor?. ...
:zzz:

Some people like to chime in on anything, even if they have no clue what they are talking about. The worst part is, they must not think that people can smell the BS right away (although a lot of people never smell the BS).
Others are legitimately trying to be helpful, the problem? They don’t know what they are talking about. I do the same as you George, nod and move on.
