Congratulations on your success and I am glad you have spoon up about your mentor experience.  

Spoons, plastic, chicken bones...

Because, while they say they will do whatever, most seem to be from the "I want it now" generation with just "spoon feed me what I really need" and above all, make me rich without thinking too much

I've dropped plenty of spoons down my disposal and it has never broken it.

When you were looking for your first property did you deal with the shiny spoon?

As I wasn’t bornwith a silver spoon, in my mid-to-late 20’s, Personal Financebecame a passion of mine (my money working to make me more money…who doesn’t love that concept).

Usually one turn will free up whatever is stuck, but if it is something like a spoon, they will need to fish it out.2) Here is a trick the tenant can often do themselves. 

, about $2.50 in change (yay), a bottle of nail polish (okay, color's not bad), a spoon (what the...), then the syringe (aw, hell no!)

You also want to respect their time because this kind of agent are very busy and does not have much time for those that need to be spoon-fed.

So for example I think I’m going to furnish the bedrooms myself because I have a good eye for design and can get furniture for less than their markup, but I’ll pay them to equip the kitchen, because I don’t want to spend time running around buying spoons and toasters.
