I dealt with this and have the sacr tissue still from that deal.

If you keep working, you CAN and WILL make it.Thick skin usually comes from scar tissue.

This is kind of like calling all tissue a Kleenex.

To be a GC, you only need an writing material and something to write on, you could have crayons and tissue paper and you can be a GC; hence some big GCs are successful doing only paper contracting.

Hi Mike,Hadn't looked at it that way, but makes sense-- thanks for your help :D (now where did I leave the stupid tissue box?)

I left a box of tissues in the room I am Airbnbing for my guests in case they get sniffles during the night. 

So did a more... muscular... relative of mine repeated the same thing to them in my presence.

@James MuddHi James,The term "Realtor" gets used for real estate agents just like Kleenex gets used to name all tissues and Bandaids to name all bandages.

I know that banks are busy, but it is reckless and unscrupulous to hold someone’s appraisal hostage if they screw up and don’t issue the loan in time for the lock period.Is there really any remedy for this problem other than to do due diligence on the lender?

Jacob, My advance comes from scar tissue, but I recommend never getting into an investment unless you have the financial foundation to afford the asset.
