Account ClosedLots of great comments and suggestions have been shared, but if I could add one thing... it would be to treat every aspect of your career as a PROFESSIONAL, not an amateur.A surgeon wouldn't operate on you without knowing how to successfully complete the operation, yet amateur agents try to help people buy or sell a home all the time without having a damn clue as to what they're doing.Professionals learn every aspect of their trade, and never stop learning either.

They seem to run their business like an amateur and live paycheck-to-paycheck.

I'm looking to build a small virtual mastermind group for amateur investors looking to grow for anyone interested.

I have no problem paying for a mentor if I know it's going to save me years of headache and a lot of money from making amateur mistakes. 

It says “A professional writer is just an amateur who never gave up.” 

@Allan Rosso I'm admittedly a complete amateur on the subject, but I believe the bank now owns it.

This type of scam is definitely not done by an amateur; retaining your former landlords bank information is not common.

I then realized in a few months that 1-40 unit deals had horrible pricing because all the amateurs were involved and the ones that looked good from a per unit price prospective were under 80% occupied and had ISSUES.
