It is coined "the lost decade" in reference to this, as in 10 years of lost recruitment and training.

@Sergey Somov - There are always at least two sides to a coin.

(i.e. the impact on IRR of the various tax treatment of dividends, capital gain, rental income, preferance deductions, etc).Changing direction a little bit here... we have covered much about IRR or Rate of Return, and CoCr, but not so much about the other side of the coin which is "Risk", so the rest of my post invites you to go into the subject of Risk.

@George Kopp - You're right, looks like I came at this from the investor angle whereas Carlos was asking about the flip side of the coin...regardless, yes, the webinar is still super relevant and will offer a lot of insight into what investors seek in an agent.

My bank can refinance at 70% of appraised value, so at $70k less closing cost, I'll have enough coin to take the kids to Chucky Cheeses (if it ever opens) and have an income producing asset for ZERO out of pocket cost.

The term DMV was coined by and grew out of DC Go Go Music about over 20 years ago to describe the 3 jurisdictions that make up the DC metro area.

I've even been told exactly how much more to offer to secure the deal.On the other side of the coin, I've had agents try to convince me to list my property low or accept a low offer so they can secure the contract....a bird in the hand is better than two in the bush....so the saying goes.In my opinion, the bottom line is that almost everyone is first and foremost representing themselves.

I've been on both sides of the coin many times and really know as a wholesaler, you are dealing with greedy investors at times who will want the deal for a small fee or try and circumvent you even if you are not dealing with the buying investor directly.

Don't forget the other side of the coin too....https://www.postregister.com/n...

My next 10 years were spent in Colorado until I moved to Midland, TX after graduating from Colorado School of Mines near Denver, CO. In
