24 February 2020 | 150 replies
I won't say it was the main reason but it definitely wore me down and it made me resent the idea of going to college, but one of the reasons I decided not to go to college is because every normal conversation I ever tried having with my parents, about anything at all, ended up being (not exaggerating) 30 minutes to an hour long lecture about how I need to go to college.

ZERO risk to investor and all was already covered during our 60min call).9) Investor never sends the deposit.10) Investor doesn't reply to follow up emails, txt's or phone calls.11) Investor rudely tells my assistant to remove him from the list and hangs up on her.There you have it folks.Another day in the office and again just one instance out of hundreds that I could write 13 books on what we have experienced since 2014.I guess the lesson is that we all need to be "Kings that cry poor".It seems like nobody is happy, if you're happy and nobody wants you to do well and make money.Everyone seems to want the best deal possible for the lowest price possible even if that comes at the detriment to someone else.I'm exaggerating but from a philosophical standpoint, human nature is to feel "more accomplished" and "more satisfied" when knowing someone else pulled out the shorter straw.It took me many years of self reflection to master this internal concept of "understanding, empathy and compassion" toward others...Would love your thoughts on the above?

After checking the Houston market, I've found that rents are typically only 30% to 50% higher than long-term rental rates, which makes rental arbitrage seem less viable.I'm wondering if these hosts might be exaggerating their profits to sell their expensive courses.
