My point of all this being three fold; ensure that before you investigate a problem, first ensure the problem exists through meticulous research. 

I personally love how my flips have impacted my real estate agent work by making me a way better knowledge-source on the product I'm selling and putting me in touch with people who value well-crafted homes.Keep rolling the lessons into the next project and you'll have a massive snowball of wisdom on your hands!

Other than that, your results in your craft speak way louder than a piece of paper.

Hi all, Here is my situation:1) Married, filing jointly, living in Texas2) We, married couple, owns the rental property in our personal name (also in Texas)3) We route all rent income and other craft related income received for small business thru an LLC.

The reason good people get scammed is because the scammer is just a little bit better at his craft.

My dream is to be in real estate building hand crafted log cabins for a living.

On occassion I've been a bit less than meticulous on rare occassion on having places absolutely spic and span.

It really astounds me that so few real estate investors take the time to learn this craft.  

Who cares how many years one has in their craft, if no other variables are considered. 30 years buying ten properties total, is not as valuable to me as ten years buying 100 properties.30 years into my investing career, I hope to have had more than enough cash flow to do whatever I wanted in life for many, many years.

The "No Contingencies" statement is becoming more and more common, because there's a trend in Real Estate for buyers to make an offer, have it accepted, and then use a painfully meticulous inspection to try to hammer the seller to reduce the price further.
