My personal belief is that "It is not the software that defines the process, but the process that should define the software" In other words, each and every one of us have a unique business, with unique processes that can utilize software to reduce workload, provide a better customer experience and automate tasks.

Where they end up with their unique situation isn't.

What’s unique is that the basement only has an exterior entrance so if I added rooms to the basement, they would essentially need to walk outside to have access to kitchen/bath/laundry.

We built a nice home we plan on staying forever and it was a unique opportunity to have someone pay over half our mortgage.

My position is unique.

I am toying with the idea of getting my real estate license to learn more, but not sure if it is worth the costs.

each is unique.. and I think if your dealing with owner occ stuff like I think you may.. its required in all states that's dodd frank.this is why its so hard to find a RMLO who will broker private transaction.. their boss wont let them.. too much liability and no real money in it.

I like toys , especially ones that make me money and make my work easier .

You can also cherry pick real estate deals where someone made millions,tens of millions or more in profit on a deal.People can talk in broad strokes on a macro view but then there will always be unique examples at the micro level.I have lots of clients that have made gains in stocks and now they want to get out as they cannot stomach the market.

All situations are unique, just know your options, your banker and your numbers. ;)
