It's not guilt, but I also feel that discomfort knowing that the buyers think I made $120K in profit when it was actually $15K.

Most likely, you wouldn’t want to move your own family to the area where you will own investment inventory, but reality invariably dictates that your optimal risk/return plot on the investment frontier exists in a geography that may initially evoke a sense of discomfort.

The sweat equity and discomforts has helped me in my real estate career.

Right now, I'll make sacrifices and deal with discomfort brought about by tenants, the purpose being so that I will understand what the property manager is going thru in the future (I heard that from one BP Podcast).

It's always slow and painful in the beginning, but the short term discomfort will pay off big down the road.

It's a way to make quick decisions without the extra discomfort of the inevitable ambiguity that comes with in-depth research...Yes, I studied psychology as an undergrad.)I haven't quite made a decision one way or the other about the product yet, but I'm not knocking it until I have more information, certainly more than one person's opinion.To be fair, the original poster did not say that Deal Dog would not, under any circumstances, help anyone else.

You'll find more success in this business from leaning into your discomfort than you will from avoiding it all together.Best of luck to you moving forward!

That's a heck of a burden to overcome.One way to tell the good ones is that they don't have to resort to shaming and publicly humiliating people like you who express healthy skepticism and discomfort with their material in front of an audience to try to keep you from breaking the spell they have cast. 

As silly as it sounds, there are a million reasons for someones' discomfort when investing but that same discomfort sometimes will forcibly hinder the potential for their true success.  

In doing so, I'm learning, getting feedback, creating an accountability of sorts that's pushing me through the discomfort that has, at times, held me back and hopefully, soon, will be making some money.
