Lack of financial acumenI wonder what percentage get into real estate with little to no money and spent most of it on a guru course - it’s no different then people who want to be a day trader or crypto miner or Amazon business.

Quote from @Matthew Miner: I am part of a family brokerage where my Dad is the broker and my mom is a Realestate agent.

No unregistered vehicles and no vehicle repair on property is in the lease (although I wouldn't have a problem with emergency battery and tire situations, I prefer they don't change the oil on the property. 

So, they’re “easy pickens” for the first “snake oil” salesman offering a one stop easy formula for success.  

@Alejandro Ferrer Im in the process of switching all my oil furnaces over to new propane heaters with new meters.

This will go easier with water-based than with oil-based poly.

Unless your in oil or agriculture or support those businesses not much of a chance for appreciation.  

I’ve been a General Contractor and have built homes, completed building second stories, anything that pertains to building including building Oil drilling a Riggs in Channelview Tx.  

The economy looks to be slowly diversifying away from Oil and unemployment is low in OK.

I took extensive video and pictures when i moved as the house was not, to most people in move in condition, obviously cleaned but very cheap and very old carpet, large areas of rooms that weren't entirely painted weird hardware sticking out of walls, screw holes or remaining screws and nails, several patched but not painted areas, tons of areas with drawing, water, oil marks on the walls (from a centimeter to 1 foot) etc etc!
