I am mad at myself for not at least holding back 200 bucks out of the 1000 I paid him (in addition to 1000 I paid for materials).

The contracting part of this business is a huge, giant cost and time driver.

Besides you need to have more than one avenue to secure leads both online and off so I'm not mad at CL one bit.

However, a drunk driving charge is a completely valid reason not to hire someone as a school bus driver -- KWIM?

I'm currently a truck driver and am tired of working long and weird hours.

My rental application asks for all the occupant info, who, names, ages, jobs, income, debt how much, savings, SSN, drivers license, date of birth and a signature that gives me permission to run a credit check.  

I used to watch guys on the job sight using a screw driver as a hammer.

I understand that it's perceived as risky, so I can't be mad at the banks / credit unions.Thanks again.

(In all those options, if you want to see property with any agent who cares about their safety you'll likely need to at least let them copy your drivers license for safety purposes.)

Being mad will only make you lose sleep and in the future this just becomes a thing of the past and will eventually be a lesson learned.
