Part of growing is recognizing our own failures, not shifting the blame to others, even when its really easy to see their faults.

Failure to do so is a violation of the lease and will result in eviction.

That way we would never allow our housing and banking system to teeter on the precipice of complete failure, because, well, they are licensed and professional and the govt is looking out for the consumer, right? 

Getting the best price for the asset is one of the skills Realtors claim to have and to pass off their failure as "seller's greed" is one of the reasons Realtors have such a poor standing in our society today.

Without time, investing in hands-on real estate is a recipe for failure.

I've heard that 87% figure tossed about all over the internet, but have found no study or basis for it, other than it's often repeated, perhaps because it suits the purpose of the people using it.Whatever the percentage failure of licensed agents, I'm sure it's quite high.

Either it's a setup for failure, and they know it, so no go.
