That’s the only thing stopping me, a few young and dumb mistakes is stopping anyone from giving me that green light.

2) am I making a mistake by addressing this bc the PM goes above and beyond and I eventually get that back rent?

Even the most obvious of things just post them up, nothing can be overlooked for me as I am obviously trying to minimize my mistakes and come out with as much in place as I can. 

That's probably her defense mechanisms attempting to defend her mistake.

@Scott Trench and I spoke about this just the other day, actually.I think the most common mistake for the new Realtor trying to be "REI-friendly" is that (this is a California and Bay Area / Oakland biased opinion, where everyone's a software engineer or otherwise in tech) they go memorize a bunch of math formulas.

Meaning, that forging the relationship for the future by my seed planting was greater than the communication mistake.

I'm hopeful that the first property will go well, but I completely understand that this is a learning process and I plan on learning from my mistakes along the way.

I'm here to learn from the best, learn from others mistakes and to connect with others in the community.
