Sorry mate and no disrespect intended, but this smacks of just so much cronyism.Parallel problem with a Property Manager being required to hold or work under the direction of a Broker, as if they are the only ones on the earth with fiduciary capacity.

Why on earth would a wholesaler let you tie up their property under contract, without a deposit so you can simply walk away?  

If one person was ever put on this Earth to NOT do property management it is me.I am all about transacting deals for clients and my own investments.

No matter how many times you walk the neighborhood on google earth it's no comparison to being there and living it.

I totally agree with you too on having a realtor being brave enough to tell you the bad news as well as a "Come to jesus meeting." hehe As much emotion that gets involved with sellers and their homes i think its important for a realtor to be able to bring the seller backdown to earth and give it straight to be able to sell the house.

Lawyer use scorch the earth strategies, in other words, sue everyone associated with the property.Best advice I received was to choose insurance over LLC structures for liability.  

Condos in Manhattan sell like hotcakes.In sum, he told me why on earth would I go to the suburbs for real estate when I can just buy a condo in New York, have it appreciate a whole lot, and sell it for a way higher price?

As Dave Ramsey said, "Scorched to earth lifestyle!

Why on Earth would I want more doors?  

Why on earth would you want to pay that much in advance-why not invest it and make a little something from it?
