This really hinders me from renting out my place and house hacking the next property, which has hurt my growth potential. 

So many questions go through your head that can often create limiting beliefs and hinder your progress.I don’t have enough experience.I don’t have enough capital.I don’t know any other Multifamily real estate investors.Why would someone give ME $100k to invest in a deal?

The maintaining a "credit history" so that I wont be hindered in the future if I were to get a new loan is a concern.  

However that's hindered by non equity sellers.   

I agree that the media negative on investors and "flipping" does in deed cause harm to our bottom lines through new government rules, laws, regulations, hinderences, etc. and it is important that we do have a "voice".

Third party entities are closed on Holidays, they have glicks in their programs and sometimes the technology isn't compatible with our software program and so that can hinder us in our business, especially when doing an eviction as time is of the essence. 

I thought making those disclosures using direct mail was going to hinder my response rate.

I did this with great success starting my career I only sold land.. and my fee was 10 to 25%  .. the folks that say license is a hinderance are usually worried about unconcenable  profit claims but you can get those being unlicensed as well if someone brings that claim license or no licesne they can still sue you if you tell them their 200k house is only worth 100k..

Its interesting how life's experiences can help or hinder us.It is hard to know how your experiences might aid you in the future.

When I worked the residential side years ago it was about getting to the sellers FIRST above anything else.Usually the first person is the one sellers gravitate toward doing business with.So for example if you mail out postcards on a continual basis over time it will create a snow ball affect.Sadly many newbies to marketing use a "one and done" approach.Meaning they get so excited they start to big and not targeted enough and run out of cash before the business takes off.The number one failure of businesses is not having the capital to grow and implement action items that hinder growth.
