Good deals with good margins are hard to find and when an opportunity like this is squandered, it hurts. 

I had the drive and money to buy a duplex in my early 20’s but squandered that opportunity to travel.

I think any realtor that isn't buying and selling their own properties is squandering the true value of having their license in the first place. 

@Matt Shields in the long run I’m not overly concerned as this corporate entities have huge overheads and as margins get smaller and smaller they will have a tough time sustaining themselves.Small operators who work from home or small “mom and pop” offices will do better as they will be able to live from previous profits as long as they don’t squander the proceeds.If we have even a minor correction in the market, the large corporations could be left sitting on a lot of negative value inventory that will need to be liquidated In order to cover overhead and can only benefit the smaller entities with cash to scoop them up.My 2 cents for what it’s worth.

I would not have squandered my money on women alcohol and tobacco and anything else I could buy .

Instead you squandered that time by engaging in petty squabbles riddled with logical fallacies about how no one who has replied is in the industry, talk about emailing brokers to take a poll, and how we all just don't get it.

Unfortunately, typically a far greater number will have spent a small fortune - perhaps one they could not afford to squander - trying to buy the "hope" of the marketing pitch and end with nothing to show for it.IMHO, the best mentors are a seasoned, successful, local investor who is willing to pay-it-forward to the next generation.
