I read this entire thread and it really upsets me.

Perhaps one day when I know more industry professionals those deals might make sense, but for me, avoiding a big project with uncertain timelines and budgets was a huge victory.

I am not "upset", I have "moved on" & my real estate career is doing well.  

I have to temper my responses all the time, yet I still upset people because they misread what I've written, or they misread my intent.

You say that you want to be hands off and let the PM handle things, but then you're upset they won't give you a copy of a letter?

This property is ugly as-is, and some people truly get upset by an ugly house when they're renting it shorter term, as though it's some reflection on them personally.Good news is that you can paint those ugly rocks and brick the same color, and make it look WAY better. 

agreed you cant have 15k deals and ONE default that is simply not possible. people die  people get up set they lose jobs all sorts of events that cause payments to be missed and foreclosures to commence

None that we lost I have been upset over.

It's dealing with people; usually upset people, and managing a lot of things at once.

You're just upset because you got called out for all that nonsense.
