I mentor several people, mostly those who are just starting out.  

kept using people who don't do real estate to do my taxes, and also they had horrible communication skills, I don't trust people who only see u as money.

We are very grateful for the clients we have, and the people we've gotten to work with.

A lot of people negatively arbitrage their 30-year mortgage, after taxes, if they keep money in a high yield savings account instead of prepaying their mortgage, because the savings account pays 4.25%, and their mortgage rate is 3.75%.

It's just not how successful people operate.

Some people seem to get locked in to one place they find, or a place a friend or family member is selling without really evaluating the available market.In a small town in East Texas I would think your biggest risk is a big player coming to town that can absolutely crush a smaller player. 

Wake up people!

Meet people and network with them.

Do people have experience doing so and have they been successful?

Have as many people you can trust give you some advise about your purchase.
