An example of this would be when a police officer initiates a vehicle pursuit for a minor traffic offense.

My focus had been climbing the job ladder, but after taking note of the lives of several high level managers in the corporate job, I realized working your butt off to move up the ladder is an empty pursuit.

I didn’t make a lot of money on these pursuits, but I did learn a lot about business, sourcing, designing, and marketing products.

Many people here will debate on your behalf whats the best way to optimize the performance, but bottom line, you have an 'income generating asset' that you didn't have before.Don't let the pursuit of 'best' rob you from appreciating what is 'good'!

However, when you come in and fix a place up, remodel, etc. you drive up prices to the renters, and seeing as their biggest struggle is being financially well-off, they will likely leave in pursuit of a place that maintains their current standard, because among other things, getting financially ahead is not on their priority list.

Look up "fruits of the land" which is the right of economic pursuits. 

The Bill Of Rights also guarantees "the pursuit of happiness" but that doesn't allow a tenant to do anything they want in a rental property, otherwise illegal or legal.Again, it seems you're speaking more from a passionate opinion on gun control than on legal lease/landlord law. 

Other than outliers like Penfed that use NextGen or lenders that use auto-enhanced or bank card-enhanced the other variants are academia and trivial pursuit questions.

To be more successful, you simply have to work on the other elements to progress your REI pursuit.

I'm nervous though, that I could run into issues with a bank trying to refinance because of the same issues that popped with my pursuit of a HELOC.
