Even thinking about calling while I am writing this is making my head spin and my stomach flip. 

Sorry to hear you ended up spinning your wheels.

I see this a lot with SFR-people get into a home because they get told its a great idea, yet when water heater goes out it sends them into a tail spin.3rd, look at your total cost of ownership of and profit from the property.

It would be great to hear a no-spin version on deals done and profit made.

Tons of $$$ available in 2000+, hardly any money left in ~2006.The reasons the market ran and the reasons the market fell are so vast and complex it can make your head spin, but laying it entirely at the feet of realtors, I disagree with.

After two years of spinning my wheels I have finally figured out how to play the game - so i think.

Late nights,weekends,emotional buyers and sellers,erratic lifestyle,etc.I find agents don't know what they want and spin their wheels for awhile while the cash goes away.Hoe much do you have to survive on until your first closing??

@Joshua Dorkin My monitored topics aren't showing up (all but one), instead I get the spinning wheel.

I see too many new guys spinning their wheels, doing everything they can to avoid cold calling. 

You will find a lot of people here that have different spins on the game.
