The galvanized pipes stopped working. 4.5K for replumbing the house (1 bathroom, kitchen, water heater and washer) plus 1K for drywall and paint...and I had just painted....Hiring contractors....without a contract that stipulates the terms of the deal.Luckily most of the mistakes I read today were 5-10K mistakes, that's easy to swallow but not ideal.

I always found that to be a very hard pill to swallow.

If you work in a huge office for a huge company, it's easy to get swallowed alive.Where I am, in NYC, some of the big firms hire literally anyone coming out of a licensing course.

Aside from the Central Business District (CBD) area, rentals are pretty stable.

Bitter pill to swallow, but we thank God we're out of there now and focused on other areas that actually cash flow.Good luck with whatever you end up doing. 

I think that is why this 97% stat is hard for most of us to swallow.

It is a hard pill to swallow that you will be hungry sometimes, you will be tired sometimes, you will live in discomfort, you will struggle and you will achieve only in adversity. 

Swallow your pride and get in the door somewhere.

Break it down into easy-to-swallow bites.Are you involved in real estate or really committed? 

This is a good lesson, it's a hard pill to swallow.
