This ****ing guy ended up ripping down 3 plaster walls, ripping off the trim from two windows and a walk way, damaging the trim, rips the floorboard which ****s up a bunch of vinyl planks and they pop off the floor, caused a bunch of scratches and gaps in the vinyl planks, he handed me a fake contract and while i was distracted reviewing the document he rapidly damaged three walls which left me paralyzed and confused and just shocked overall.

I call this the shiny object syndrome that can distract us from our goals.To overcome this syndrome, I emphasize the need for well-defined systems and processes.

It's another business to work on & a distraction from my short term rental business. 

We have a small payment left on the contract which I am withholding until completion.We did have to get permits and the city inspector has added work at every inspection so that has caused distractions (necessary ones) along the way.Our visit to site today was more of the same, I immediately reached out to the GC with photos of every space - interior and exterior - asking how they can claim we will be done in a week when we are clearly not that close. 

Don't get distracted by a home being a "good deal" on paper if something feels off.

I disagree with most of this for most agents....starting/running complimentary title/mortgage/construction/cleaning/development/lawn mowing/brokerage and everything else people need in the process is not in the cards for most, and a distraction for the few that take their eyes off the target.   

They're extremely distracting and make it difficult to really view the photos.

They cut out distractions.

Ceilings are never touched and a shiny appearance with light reflecting off of them is distracting.

It’s a blessing (the reason you found real estate in the first place) and a curse (you probably get distracted easily on what asset class to focus on).
