I find it somewhat amusing when these programs and coaches act surprised when the occasional client 'breaches' the contract...99% of these programs are pitched with hype and unrealistic expectations, otherwise they wouldn't sell any copies.

I occasionally get someone that says, "I know this one guy..." but they can't provide actual details and it's probably just a rumor.Almost all legal disputes are over security deposits and very small amounts.Large suits involve injuries, which are only a risk if the landlord is negligent (e.g. fails to repair a broken step and the tenant falls).Even if the landlord is guilty, the suit will most likely be settled out of court and covered by insurance.Even if it goes to court, insurance will cover the costs.The odds of a landlord losing a lawsuit for more money than the average insurance policy will pay are about the same as winning the lottery or being struck by lightning twice.

That adds up to a LOT of lost income over a few years over an occasional broken stool or lamp.  

The older ones are smoother, but I ain't into smooth, I like the smoky peat taste...my wife says I 'smell like dirt'. 2nd place is The McCallan.I do occasionally go with bourbon though and we both like Bulliet.

Occasionally I sell some real estate as well lol.

I used to prefer helping buyers, when you'd schedule a buyer to see a morning or days' worth of homes, lots of choices, maybe schedule a 2nd showing the next day for favorites, then negotiate an offer and be surprised with the occasional multiple bid.

It doesn't work for everything but occasionally kitchen cabinet deals or if something is running over budget I can grab second hand deals there.

Maybe you will get an occasional courtesy freebie, but not all the time.

I'm on their mailing lis and occasionally I see good deals from them.

I have started attending GRID Clifton, and Reston (occasionally).
