In truth we could have started with 10 great ones and wound up so much better off over time Powerful advice!

In 6 months they will be licking their wounds having given up on the system, now being that much further (by the amount spent, amount lost investing, wasted time, and emotional devastation) behind in realizing their goals and dreams 

An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. ...I've bought properties with bad sewer lines, but I KNEW what I was buying because of the scope, and I factored that in to my numbers and offer...without the scope, I would have no idea what I was buying, and I would've wound up with a significant unanticipated capex.We inspect every other part of a property before buying.

There's the wound, Doubting Thomas!

My greatest pain point is not that the deals failed, although that certainly adds salt to the wounds, it's the poor communication, false narratives, chasing (almost begging) for updates, lack of full disclosure, the smoke and mirrors, etc.

We used wheat we learn to buy non performing notes, and wound up turning them into rentals.  

Commercial values can fluctuate greatly - I am a fan of time heals all wounds and if you acquire a commercial property and can turn it around I believe there is still money to be made. 

We don't see people trashing our properties, because the mgmt company culls the crappy renters.The investors that are licking their wounds from investing in the actual "war zones" obviously either didn't do their DD, or worked with the wrong TK company....or both.  

Lick your wounds, learn how to buy better, and try again.

Not surprising really judging by your avatar.So, "bro," while it’s friggin adorable you jumped to his rescue bolstering each other's egos, and licking each other's wounds just understand this:I created a saying:Not because 2 clowns agree with each other does it mean that what they agree on is correct.But I also know it is pointless to keep this going.
