Most people think Commercial is too hard and too expensive. 

Real estate is a people industry so networking is important.

I noticed some of the wealthiest people I knew owned real estate.

I know people making 5-6k/month doing MTR in Austin.

Many people purchase without an agent at first, and as long as you know your strategy & numbers it is reasonable.

Then again I see so many people STRing in year 1 just to convert to LTR in year 3 once the big cost seg is done and in the bag.

I'm not a contractor and don't do anything structural, but I would consider my brother in law and myself - experts at tile, kitchen, flooring renovations. 

I've heard from people who say a coach can make a world of difference, but you really have to pick the right coach.

This is a tough situation, as if I was the other party I would ask the question "what makes you a qualified individual to determine if the tree was a risk", are you an arborist or tree expert?

There are quite a few people who must be going after vacant or older people with free and clear titles....
