I certainly appreciate the time and effort they put into helping me secure the properties I want.That said- like many others, I have met/dealt with my share of lazy/incompetent/<insert whatever derogatory adjective> real estate agents.

While each person's solution may vary, there is a solution.Anyone that tries to tell you that you're <insert descriptor here> because of your decisions regarding ensuring your business' success really has no business telling you what you should do.

If you're thinking of doing that, you may as well buy stocks.Let's take the partnership case where you are the minority holder(I'm not going into various types of entities here, so insert LLC, TIC, or whatever you please, the type of entity wouldn't change my response.)

I talk to hundreds of investors every year who: [list]Have been thinking about investing Have been reading about investing Have a friend who had done well investing (The elusive friend) Are saving for a down payment Waiting for rates to go down Waiting to finish their real estate course Waiting for their mentor to tell them to buy Waiting for summer (insert any season) Waiting for the market to straighten out Waiting till they can afford it Waiting till they get a promotion Waiting till their friend or relative can partner with them Trying to read just one more book Waiting till they buy their own house Waiting till they get a raise Waiting to graduate from college Waiting till their friend or family member becomes a realtor Waiting to be married Waiting till they contribute their maximum to a 401k Waiting till they get done working on their own home [/list:u]Then after giving me their excuse for waiting they ask [list]What happens if the toilet gets clogged?
