One thing I haven't written much of here but I spend a lot of time thinking about is that in addition to the simple, painful fact that there is a very limited supply and a very high demand for good people to fix houses, there's a quiet but very powerful culture clash taking place between many would-be real estate investors and many contractors/handymen/tradesmen.

They are fantastic and have a great culture of customer service.

Travel Europe for 3 months with my wife to celebrate the end of my Military career and the end of her Family Medicine residency.6.

Rich Dad Poor Dad and every single celebrity with a flipping show on tv is selling these scams.

But it doesn't seem like that is what you are referencing when you celebrate the 40k profit...Good to meet you David... 

No amount of success stories, no number of impossible situations that Agents are not equipped to handle, no logical attack on flawed equity stripping logic or questioning if I was "ethically" obligated to offer top dollar (I'm not, you're not, heck, they don't even do it in retail) could slake the hate or turn the tide of an entrenched culture.

The letter is way too long.If you have ever watched celebrities they practice communication in a clear and short way as possible.

I look forward to this mini "diary" where we can celebrate your successes!

And they are culturally appropriate to our prospects. 

What I am trying to wrap my head around is the cultural differences not to mention the language barrier.
