@Brittney PeabodyThank you, yeah I really need to surround myself more and starve my distractions. :)

I'm focusing on removing the distractions. 

For example, I am taking time from analyzing deals, talking to potential investors, negotiating with sellers, etc because I am distracted by a new problem brought to me by a team member.A better approach is to make it a policy for my team not to bring problems to my plate until they came with potential solutions to accompany the problem.

@Lewis McKnightWhile all these 26 forum responders were complaining about a $9.99 fee, I closed another deal...thx BP for the distraction!

I believe the reason the home didn't sell for 2 years was due to poor photo, and poor showings, People need to feel as if they can come right in and start living, If homeowners have messy distractions it will immediately remove focus from the home and buyers will focus more on the mess.

This is a bad idea because they are very, very good at keeping you distracted to prevent you from seeing something, or they will argue with you about everything.

You should be able to say to all things that can distract from your goals investing.

Cons are some expenses (everyone worries about this, but if you're doing more than one transaction a year, you shouldn't) and that getting licensed can be a distraction from investing. 

It's just that the metrics around it have changed and you have to be realistic and not distracted by the hype. 

With regards to net worth, It is no longer being worth doing anything when it keeps you from doing something more valuable with your time.I can imagine house hacking being such a distraction and annoyance that it could easily keep you from earning an extra $1k or $2k per month.
