A good mentor is worth their weight in gold, at least mine was.

student loan debt is highest weighted hit when trying to get a loanif money is no object to you, get a house in west u and youll prob preserve your capital

Again, I'm a beginner, so i know my words don't hold a whole lot of weight but I have heard more savvy investors talk about the importance of knowing how to call an audible and adapt to situations and so on, so... well done!

It takes the weight off your shoulders of pretending to be the actual end buyer.

Yes it is likely too good to be true and unlicensed in this case is basically paying a random person $5 for his or her opinion that is no better than yours, it will not hold any weight with anyone.  

Just trying to weight the long term benefits vs. short term.

But I'm sure you can cut expenses (cut cable and go to streaming service, cancel gym and invest in a set of free weights/go on more hikes, minimize dining out, stop buying expensive coffees, etc).

The other 3 charge around $700 a week for a nice room with 2 beds and access to a pool, weight room, and free breakfast.So I charge $400 for 2 bedroom places that are as nice as the $700 a week motel, but people can cook, do their laundry, have their wife visit, shoot a bow & arrow in the back yard, process a deer in the garage, work on their vehicle, etc. 

My wife is a perfectionist and gets mired in the details, treating every piece of information with equal weight. 

This process of reconciliation can be weighted anyway the appraiser subjectively determines is most accurate. 50/50 20/30/50 80/20 whatever...Hope this helps.
