You'll have to pay to have your finger prints taken and there's the licensing/exam fee as well. 

I would definitely use the position as a secondary source of income (aside from just working my own deals), and I'm sure having your finger on the pulse of values, buyer preferences, neighborhood nuances, etc. is also a huge help.Do you guys feel you get better access to better deals from being an agent?

But we are here for each other.The title of your post and how you state the situation shows me you are pointing the finger at the tenant.

(fingers crossed) 

If I had to put my finger on the origin of those, I would say it comes from trying to connect whole loan investing with real property investing.

(crossing my fingers) Hope that helps Andrew. 

For those who are struggling to follow the cognitive merits of this thread (and not the finger waving), I'll chime in ever-so-briefly.I'm in my 37th year of real estate and my 25year of notes. 

I literally stuck my finger thru the ceiling.

I want to send that guy a barbeque lighter so he doesn't burn his fingers.

But I like to keep a finger on what the public perception is and the macro numbers..
