I didn't get burned too badly. 

Don't burn bridges to win a deal.

I think it's a better idea to start with 1 home, though, so less money is risked and learning is easier since learning from 1 would be hard enough compared to learning from 5 at the same time and getting burned out.

The prices here are definitely more affordable, but I have been burned by a few agents and would like some control over the process. 

I never noticed it while they were there as they always had candles burning.

And this is why I chose to work with you while we both burn the midnight oil!

@Miguel Campos I’m in New Hampshire and our insurance does not allow tenants to have the usage of wood burning fireplaces, wood stoves, pellet stoves, or anything like that.

Back in 2019 my families condo burned down and we were forced to move out.

I am not afraid of hearing "no", but I would hate to burn bridges.

You have a great philosophy in regards to paying to learn as much as you can.In 1972 I paid $6,000 to go to a one-day seminar and everyone said I was crazy, but I learned many things that day that stuck in my head and many of those things helped helped me to make my business much more successful.I wrote what I did because I'm burned out from going to too many real estate club meetings where they bring in snake oil salesment, but I should have stated that there are some legitimate companies.
