(Chris has been featured on BP Podcasts #122 and #26.)Chris was great, staying up way past midnight to answer questions and share his experiences and I know our members learned much from him.Chris delivered great value, getting REAL with us by talking about the BIGGEST MISTAKE he's made as an investor: https://youtu.be/tnPX4g0vzns (If you want to hear the full 53 minute interview, there's link in the above video).So the successes seem to keep coming for us here in Seoul, Korea, as our meetup grows and we continue to draw great speakers. 

I won't make that mistake again. 

Hopefully I can avoid some mistakes because of this place.

We spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on this cove but made some major mistakes.  

My other mistake was I never specified these terms explicitly in the lease.  

I guess I need to make one more thing clear, I haven't purchased a home in over a dozen years so I am just trying to avoid what would essentially be a "rookie" mistake.

I know it sucks to get excited about a property and then have people try to dissuade you from it but it doesn't feel like you have enough of a cushion for mistakes. $5k would make me uncomfortable.

Daniel,This kind of thread doesn't get a lot of responses because1)  If you share your success, people say you're bragging.2)  If you share your mistakes, people say you're stupid.It's almost a lose-lose situation. 

Recently purchased my first home. What are the biggest problems new homeowners have to deal with? Is it the paperwork? Finding a good policy for mortgage/insurance?

Followed advice from two BP members and hired Kalem Williamson as a contractor - HUGE mistake,  The guy took the money and split.
