Based on your profile picture, your name and the fact that you're from Canada (I've only met one Canadian poker player named Sol), I think we sat next to each other and chatted for several hours during one of those events...

Don't know if you play poker but to use a poker term, it seems like you have a lot of outs.  

@Mun Kee,One additional thought, you must learn when to work with people and when to cut your losses and move on.How good of a poker player are you?

But like being at a poker table, you don't want to get stopped out because you ran out of money.

:-)Just to defend myself, that was actually the official picture from my ESPN World Series of Poker television appearance...that photographer hadn't worked at Sears in over 2 years!!!

Like many pro poker players confess, the best hands they ever played were ones that they folded.I respect how some of the folks on here are so adamant on their beliefs, just as I am.

Scott does WH deals, rehabs and flips, he is also an RE agent, he can and will do retail deals I'm sure, I doubt he would turn down a listing from a contractor on new construction and with his poker money, he may even do some financing, I don't know about that.Asking if WHing will be sustainable long term is like asking, will my doughnut shop be a good long term business?

When I learned how to play poker, I read Doyle Brunson's book - which is like the texas-holdem bible.

With your advice I am more likely to be perceived as defending against this practice, and I will avoid gaining a reputation as a "fish", to borrow from a poker analogy.Many thanks.

Currently I'm a Texas Hold'em Poker tournament director.
