I may get punished for my aggressiveness, but it keeps life interesting for me to set new goals.

The rich aren't evil and shouldn't be 'punished' as such.

The photos can and should show action, not just static pics, and as things are getting competitive again lazy listers will be punished and those of us who put in effort for consumer psychology will stand out. 

To tag onto what @Nick Riccio said, while it may seem like you're "only lying to a bank" it's actually a felony punishable by up to 5 years in prison.Will they find out?

It is a felony punishable by up to 5 years in prison. 

Punishing landlords and making it impossible for them to provide housing is a terrible idea not to mention a breach of civil liberties.

If so, even if you decide to activate your license and start practicing real estate, you will have to complete the post-licensing classes which are around $750 total and 90 hours that could be much better spent..Also, even though your license is "inactive" you could still be punished by the NC Real Estate Commission if you conduct and real estate activities that require a license.

Punish the law abiding property owners who do not owe it to the Government to provide charity.

So too has fallen the "truth" that insane, punishing rush-hour traffic is inevitable, unavoidable and simply the price of living in a great metropolitan area.

As a landlord it is not about punishing them for their past, but avoiding risk for yourself by placing a tenant who could cause trouble.
