Quote from @Eliott Elias: People don't take action.

I wouldn't accuse people that write listings to be knowledgeable in insurance. 

The big thing is always focus on protecting the public, disclose, and take care of people.

This is the fork where I'm not sure if I'd be good to get some CRE exp and invest in learning about how to review deals for the next 2-3 years, or focus on generating revenue for investment purposes and watch how things are done as a LP.My personality more aligns with networking, reaching out to people, connecting, navigating difficult situations and finding solutions that work.
