There were no pitch men trying to sell you just one training after another and then there was the Hot Seat.

An investor only gets their license in order to avoid the "middle-man", I don't want to have new headache's/middle-men with a broker who expects me to act all their other career agents.

they are  the middle men and not the principals its the principals that get sued or in trouble. 

I love how, if MEN* have a hard time expressing and understanding their emotions, they conveniently decide that emotions aren't "appropriate" in business.The supreme irony is, real estate is all about people and relationships, and people are all about emotions.

And this is true with rich/poor, educated/uneducated, women/men, different ethnicities, or whatever the case may be.

There are lots of middle men in this business.

When a husband and wife, do you address one or the other (I wonder if men or women are more likely to open mail from strangers)? 

Your heated argumentation is classic when two men see a baby elephant and a giant elephant from different distances.

They sold most of their equity to a fund and became very wealthy men, who are still best friends.

I see it time and again, wholesalers telling others to get with another wholesaler and "partner" with them creating two middle men in the transaction as if one is not already enough.
