When will people realize this is not investing?  

@Hannah KarlovichIn my opinion, Requiring permits for things in Fort Worth is like saying - DON'T SPEED OR YOU'LL GET A TICKETDo people speed and not get tickets?

But would love to chat and connect and build a team of amazing people who are dedicated to growing not only professionally but personally as well. 

Tell them that you'd like to call through their oldest, worst leads to get comfortable talking with people - can I help with appointment setting?

You've found a great community of people and resources! 

They are good people. 

If that is the case people are saying I could sue, but do I sue for ?   

I have no idea what car dealerships bring in monthly so I am not sure if they could afford a lease. 

I see a lot of people posting about Detroit.

If you could bring your own work in to an appraisal office, you would be an asset to them, more than a liability.* Along the previous line - research specific lenders and find those that do "direct engagement."
