Occasionally, the auctioneer is bidding on behalf of the lender.

Occasionally I have had someone snip at me and tell me I ask too many questions.

Occasionally people no show and while frustrating they weeded themself out.  

I occasionally listen to podcasts and am still amazed at how the headlines never match up to the content.

Even as a brokerage, we occasionally have to deal with a false ad for one of our listed properties.  

Other areas I am seeing the occasional 2br 1ba in west town going for 220-240k which after amortization net $9000 a year on only $22,000 down at 10%.

and occasional vacancy its a 40 unit low rise. 

I close on a shirt term rental on Lake Superior at the end of July that I will also be using occasionally as well.

As an agent, I grew very tired of trying to find a broker that didn't disallow something - or several somethings, such as:A lot of brokers in Ohio don't permit property management - not that I want to be in that field, but occasionally something would come up where it was warranted (and worthy of my time), but alas, I had to refer the business elsewhere.I won't even get into the wholesale/assignment of contract topic - I was with another broker for a long time (also an investor) who allowed it, because he understood it.

Occasionally, you may lose some money, but if you know your business, this will be infrequent.
