Now I have had a few homes where the folks never called us back so I have to assume they did not have any cracks or nail pops..

The reason why you have the "squeaks" is because the nails have become loose in the wood and are moving when you step.

So Jay as usual hit nail on head. 

I think we have enough consensus to nail down an event. 

@Nathan Gesner I believe you nailed it on the head with your last statement.

Stay on the ball with learning and making friends to nail it in owning property.Thanks!

Really nail down the financial stability.

Bingo, you nailed it on the head. 

@Melanie P. pretty much nailed it.

What I also like about your post is that it shows that you can do it on your own, while it also admits that going through the course would have saved you time and probably would have made you more money.I find it funny when people on BP make it seem like you're just wasting your money if you buy a course rather than watch hundreds of Youtube videos and read hundreds of posts -- although everyone should because you never know what little nugget you'll dig up.You nailed it when you said that what your paying for when you buy a course is TIME.Sure, there's a lot of amazing free content out there for just about any topic one can think of.
