It is a shame that the poor work ethics of the bad agents makes us all look bad. 

It's a shame because they are going to waste the next 4 years in school, hopefully without student loans, and then go into the field with zero experience.

What a shame.

It sounds like your tenants are well off their last leases (which is a shame - even if your lease converts to month to month per the terms, always sign renewals and keep them current).

Because if you depend on your tenants for maintenance then you are asking for your houses to be condemned with black mold, your lawn to look red as ham and coils in your fridge and ac to look like the abdominal snow man.

It seems to me it would be a shame to have learned what *not* to do, and then just walk off into the sunset and never apply the knowledge.

Miss Vanessa Carvajal you're doing fine you've made it this far so there's no turning back, mostly, your not ashamed to ask question this is the first song of courage and strength which are the vocal points to gain financial freedom so keep up the good work and in due time you'll be greatly rewarded.

Trying to look on the bright side that $500 lost is better than $30-60 thousand but still a shame.

It's actually a shame people even consider using Legal Zoom as agent for service instead of building a relationship with a local attorney.

The are embarrassed and ashamed and only after you gain their respect will they open up to you.
