However, I recognize that the income from being a private instructor and gigging can dry up when the economy takes a nose dive.  

Nothing rubs our noses in the fact that we're not making the effort and sacrifices more than having a colleague succeed. 

While yes, you absolutely have to get those tenants gone before you take possession, you cannot , as some have suggested, just “lay down the law” like a hard-nose.

investing and no money do not go hand in hand.. also as stated above go work for free for someone .. that's a dead end street most of the time those folks will just use you and spit you out.if you want in the industry and its a big wide industry then get into it.1. become an agent and get PAID to learn get on a top producers team and get paid and mentored at same time.2. go get your lenders license and work in the mortgage industry get Paid to be in the industry.3. with your license you can go into leasing.. that's quick money and work your way up in a commercial brokerage that's were the big money is made.Investing is not for those with no money.. how many small business can U start with no money.get a job in the industry and get paid to learn.. don't let investors lead you around for free pulling on your nose ring.

He is probably in a factory right now, working 3rd shift, dust and grease up his nose, let’s write a book with much reality, and give this guy a chanceThe game is not about Real Estate!  

But a good buyers agent will have their buyer reeled in they wont just be led around by the nose ring..

This is best because it doesn't require us to nose into their personal situation. 

That's like the "Zombie Loans" where if you "put a mirror up to his nose and it fogs up" give him a Mortgage! 

It's no skin off my nose if someone gets fined or jailed or loses their investment, now is it?

That being said, I'm not unwilling to bury my nose in a book, make a bad *** spread sheet, or put in the time to be the best I can be at any task.
