So you could be picking up pennies (with wholesale deals) and passing large fat bars of gold (gained from going all in on dentistry).But you can always read up and maybe buy a place to house another dental student for kicks and learning (as long as a maintenance issue or tenant problem won't keep you from passing root canal class or whatever)...Then, once you are all established, you may want to be a real estate investor--with the assets and being more established in your career.

I do think that the small percentile that wants to do things themselves to shave a penny might be the target customers for automation to get price of services down even further.

I give Acorn & Oak Property Management in Durham 10% of my gross every month, and it's worth every penny. 

when they start talking technical terms, and all this stuff measured out to the penny on a purchase less than $200K wondering if its a good deal or not.I understand the calculations are there for a reason. 

Tell them thats the number (I'm giving examples above of what I think is reasonable so you should give them what you believe is reasonable) you're going to pay and not a penny more. 

@Raj Vachani I would have a lot more trust in your story had you simply come out and say look I am here to attract potential investors....Your goal is as clear as day here, but there is nothing wrong with it, so why sugar-coat it?....

However, she didn't understand how unreasonable she was being so my dad couldn't sugar coat it anymore.

Proctor and Gamble going to zero would be like Preferred or Casto going to zero.Alternatively, a penny stock going to zero is like the war zone property you bought for $500 from the land bank.

@Aaron MillisI wouldn't be overly concerned with penny-pinching when it comes to legalities.

That said, you dont want to be penny wise and pound foolish.
