That was the magic words to fork over $10,000!

Hands-off, Core Four, magic spreadsheet, minimal reserves, BIG believers in the power of positive thinking, putting lipstick on pig after pig all the way to bankruptcy court.My husband was also an English major, and while I (the computer science major) usually focus on acquisitions, he always has veto power and he's not afraid to use it-- lol. y'all English majors debbie downers. 

Unless EXP agents are magically charging 6x the average, theres no way I can get the math to pencil out.6x the average national commission rate, theres no way the math holds up to them making more. we can do this with the 2019 numbers.EXP - $36b volume, 25,000 agents at that time. $1.4m in volume per agent for a gci of $36kCompass - $91b volume,  13,000 at that time, $7m in volume for an average gci of about $175k. 

This is indeed a magical community so I am going to do my best to ask informed questions.I’m crossing my fingers that overbidding for investment properties as you described is not a problem where I am.

We have immense liquidity in the system and no mention of any looming threat that could disrupt the financial machine, at least no legitimate one grounded in reality and logic (yes, I have heard the fed printing will collapse everything, buy gold & silver, I have heard this for 20+ years, it's always magically "just about to happen") COVID, arguments of how covid will crash the housing market.

No one book or podcast or forum post will have the magic formula.

Loopnet is not a magic bullet for commercial deals but it is certainly not a waste of time. 

Getting a mentor is no magic bullet.

That path doesn't just happen to you magically if you spend money, borrow money, and sit in classes at college for four years.
