Reminds me of Dave Ramsey's line about a cat costing the seller $10,000 (translation-don't have them in the house, people don't want to see a cat while they're looking at the property).

And I know some real estate gurus can be kinda phony and cheesy but this guy was genuine.Getting to my point, he has a apprenticeship program which you can apply to join, and it's basically a mentor following you step by step to make sure your doing all your translations correctly.

I am fortunate and privileged enough to have had the chance to study things I was interested in learning about, however I couldn't see how any of the things I learned could translate into a career for me. 

The "rule" as it has been defined and described throughout BP is that 50% of your income will be eaten by expenses, the remainder is what you get to keep to pay off any debt service or as profit.The 50% rule includes property management, so if you self-manage then that translates to about 40%, not 50.If you bring in $1000/month on a single family home you should expect that over the long haul (10+ years) you're going to average about $400/month on expenses ($500 if paying property manager).Keep in mind this is a general rule of thumb.

Sounds like a pro-tenant just trying to tell you things to alter what is coming and delay further.Just get him out.

I don't know how or if that will translate to a marketing campaign focused on motivated sellers, but we'll see!!

Really interesting to me how many say they are flexible and doing it all when it makes sense due to markets and timing.It appears that "Joe" has assumed another alter ego that prefers heels !
