Would love to make sure we connect on FB and meet there before we arrive at the Summit.  

then pay $2.5K to send all these mailers, hoping you have the correct copy on your cards, waiting for the precise day of the week to send them so they arrive on a Monday at 4:23 PM, only to have 30% of these mailers returned to you, due to wrong address, only for you to add more work to your roster to skip trace them and resend these mailers, only to be yelled at because the card was not welcome..Come now.Anyone that says DMM is awesome, is delusional.

Guest arrives arrives, checks in, and gives me a call that evening. 

As soon as I arrived at the property, they were already busting the door in.

I don't disagree with the OP on many assertions, but using one's experience to arrive at an absolute is, well, a bit of a stretch.

I am just wondering if all of you "legit" professionals arrived where you are by just going always by the book, In my 14 year in RE, I have never met anyone that told me the truth from the start.

It arrives the 1st of every month without fail!

When the cops arrive, get their names after showing them you have an equitable interest in that property.

I set goals, put myself in gear, and hit gas...I am 100% sure that a lot of folks arrive to BP because they are lost in life.

Since you are new highly recommend to go take a look at this one and go on the MLS , talk to brokerS and take a look at several similar properties and compare numbers to arrive at an offer you are comfortable with.Best of luck !
