@Max M. Sorry, not sure where you got any criticism from me. I have said your writing skills don't line up with your story so either:
1. 80% likely: your story is BS, you already have a nice job writing copy for guru's and this is a backstory to pile a big fake success story on top of. Or perhaps a platform to encourage those with the money to buy guru stuff to do it because: if Max had the money he would!
2. 20% likely: you have managed to become a good writer despite hard to believe circumstances.
In neither case do I think you are incapable of greatness. In case one, you are capable and choosing to use your skills for evil. In case 2, you are capable and have just not done it yet.
Assuming case 2, best of luck and nobody cares about your past when you have found a deal for them, or offered an appropriate price for a property or rent amount for something you own. If you sleep in a barn or on a swing? I don't know or care how much warcraft my customers play. I care if they pay on time, and are willing to pay my rates.
I dispense no Real Estate advice, because I have done nothing in my life to qualify for that. I have met my financial goals in other ways, and I have a college degree in Finance. I try to stick to those kinds of comments.
