O has been good, but its emphasis on retail space makes me think it might be more exposed to economic developments (tariffs, increasingly online retail) than good ol' fashioned residential real estate. 

I believe in fairness and transparent field progress points, and as a business owner, I made sure field productivity was tied to being paid for in a timely fashion according to my terms.

But the less an owner understands his business, the more likely he'll fall victim to employee theft or incompetence in whatever fashion it takes.

In summary, odd's are your just gonna invite a good ole fashion azz-whoopin. 

I literally go house by house in an organized grid fashion street by street checking owner record of every property. 

Living in a very modest home compared to your net worth is more important in some places than others, I suppose, but I live within four or five miles of almost all my tenants and my county's website clearly gives the location of where their tax and sewer bills are sent, so unless I invest in a post office box and an LLC, I shouldn't live in a McMansion with a lawyer foyer, a garage mahal, and a turret.If you want to wear nice shoes, designer clothing, or lots of jewelry, go on vacation in another country.

Unfortunately, investing is best in just the inverse of that fashion--logic over emotion.You may have done well with real estate, I'm not one to say you haven't.

The good old fashioned hand shake or even the quick nice to meet you hug.  

Cold calling definitely still works — but it's become so saturated that only doing it the old-fashioned way won't get you far anymore.
