There are a lot of jurisdictions (most of the West Coast now) that include marital status, sexual orientation, and others under their fair housing regulations.

It blew my mind but I suppose you get used to what's considered "normal".Having actually lived in Hollywood, West Hollywood and downtown LA, your comment about the sexual nature of the assault you suffered isn't typically seen in homeless communities.

It's abiut touch and convenience = instant gratification and satisfaction.

It's been a pretty cool journey and has allowed me to leave my W2, however, I've come to the realization that my current strategy of delayed gratification is no longer working for me.

i feel like RE is one of the best examples of the exponential growth or delayed gratification. the small things we do and the connections we make during our real estate journey seem so insignificant at the time. but it only takes 1 opportunity or one phone call to launch us to the next opportunity and then everything starts to build on itself.

Which means, "immediate gratification".The only way to save this client and your sanity, is by resetting their expectations NOW or parting company.FYI: really do feel your pain!

Currently, this past 2 weeks I've been doing his and Pace's creative fiance series and when I tell you these people are just truly a blessing to the industry it's almost hard to put my gratification into words.

Are you willing to make that sacrifice and delay gratification for the 1-2-3 years necessary to make this work? 

What if there is sexual-harassment involved? 

I'm mostly interested in the long term gratification when the properties are owned free and clear.
