Are there others that agree or disagree?

I have to disagree.

Selling now and waiting for a correction is taking a gamble and I’m sure many will disagree with this route.

Or if the agent is the disagreeable sort and the deal is really good you can offer to pay the commission out of your own pocket.

I would respectfully disagree. 

I know others on here will completely disagree with me and there is no right answer, but I am a fan of using leverage as long as it isn't maxed and if instead of the upside being immediate, it is a snowball instead.

I would just say that if you go to one where you quickly get the vibe the organizer is trying to sell something (i.e. some kind of coaching or get rich quick whatever...) get out of there...meetups should be about networking, sharing opportunities etc...IMHO not about selling your fellow REIA members....if anyone disagrees I'd welcome the input

(Sorry, but I have to disagree with Dennis) contractors I've brought with typically don't go on a roof, attic, etc during a showing (as an agent I thank god for that!)

Your list is pretty comprehensive, I would check deeds, title, leases, management agreement, vendors, etc.I tend to disagree with the bolded portion though.

Second, I disagree with depriving yourself to terribly to save.
