Those two seem to be on opposite end of the spectrum, and both making good points.

Let's stop confusing the misinformation, embellished outlier stories, trite truisms, unverifiable shortcuts and unsustainable business strategies that are "taught" by gurus with the real education in real estate provided by real educators.At the lower end of the "real" real estate education spectrum are the real estate broker/agent courses, both initial licensing and continuing education offered by both community colleges and privately owned real estate schools, both physical and online.The next step up are the short term courses offered by the real estate institutes of major colleges, open to anyone, such as those offered by  NYU or Wharton.  

Also @Stone Jin, is the low 4% an average of what to expect or is that  on the high or low end of the spectrum.

The political leanings of the State Legislature are at the other end of the spectrum from the Toledo City Council.  

On the opposite end of the spectrum, the overly short questions of "is this a good deal?

I may be a little slower on the spectrum and or just a victim of the analysis paralysis group but my story seems to fall into the 11% group. 

On the other end of the spectrum, I am in the process of acquiring another rental.

The opposite side of the spectrum is true too, the greater quantity of content you post the more likely your chances are that you will secure a keyword or two.

I was a logger for 10 years In Oregon.. we had a nice run.. but we provided logs so on the other end of the spectrum.. out this way the big lumber brokers control the market.Although I did do a deal with a Oak floor manufactorer years ago.. we had a 700 acre tree farm in Oregon that had some Oak on it I traded the oak for custom flooring..

@Joel Florian you've hit this 100% on the head.Extremists on both ends are of the spectrum are not to be idolized.
