They know that they are a dinosaur and are fighting to survive.

The age of realtors is fading like that of dinosaurs.

As a million $ producer back when the "dinosaurs roamed" (the eighties), I gave her an insider's view:  it's a "people & relationship" business where consistent hard work earns trust to be successful; we're both good with math and family budgets; and we could do this wisely by using BP and investors we've met at REI, who have encouraged and are willing to mentor us, if necessary. 

I look forward to working with the bigger pockets community to better understand new trends and identifying dinosaur strategies. 

instead of burning a dead dinosaur to sit in this guys territory i'd hash out the unrealistic price over the phone.

I met with a lender and he said what I am looking for is a "dinosaur" rare and hard to find.

I am 100% pro for purchasing multi-unit properties, but you want to purchase the best deal so you are happy to be a property owner and you don't want to purchase a dinosaur you have to clothe and feed.

Back when dinosaurs roamed the earth I did a deal with 5 friends/partners on a commercial property, and within 3 months they had all bailed on me, I had to scramble to buy them out but It turned into a real good money deal.So I threw a party at a restaurant for my "friends" and on the wall was a poster of the check I got when I finally closed escrow.

Perhaps off point, but those pensions are rapidly going the way of the dinosaurs.

But to be frank, whole life is considered a dinosaur.
