If not he can lick his wounds and move on.

I can door knock, cold call or heck I'll even lick envelopes for your direct mailing!

but seriously, my suggestion would be to not pay a lick for any mentor or guru training class.

I applaud you for licking your wounds, taking action, and coming back to the forums for advice. 

I mean, you make an offer at 50% below retail, then back charge another 6-9%, do a lick-n-stick upgrade and sell at 25% below retail, winning. 

I'm sure you see where I'm going with this - In essence you create a self-licking ice-cream cone by operating within a certain philosophy.

Set out signs, lick stamps, find repair costs, etc. these are things that may not make much but someone has to do it and if your mentor can do other things, that should be enough for you to tag along.Too many out there are wannabe gurus, stay clear of them, especially those with little business experience in RE....the specialists, IMO.

You mean Lizard Lick Towing isn't reality?

Everyone I know who lives there absolutely loves it.Good lick!

Many firms that start at this point in the cycle (top) don't make it through to the next one.I've decided that instead of complaining and licking my wounds for a few years (and maybe now because I have a wife and daughter depending on my income), that I should figure out a way to make money when multifamily is slow.
