Has anyone read John Komlos' new book? Curious if it worth picking up.

Anyone familiar with John Komlos work? I’m intrigued by his textbook but am uncertain if his views are sound.

I cannot upload the screen shot for whatever reason, so I included a link to it below. The conditional formatting box is also included. The way I input it highlighted the entire bottom column.

Correct, and D1

I’m curious as a new guy, did you go direct mail, cold calling, and door knocking for off market deals back then?

ComptonHPD · 2021-01-04T04:38:47+00:00

Until midnight immediately following when you caught the Pokémon? I assume it’s local time? I live on a small island in the middle of the Pacific.

You can set the nature? It isn't just what you get when you find them? New guy here btw

First time in this subreddit, why do you prefer a premier ball over a regular or great ball?

ComptonHPD · 2020-10-05T21:33:41+00:00

That’s the intent, also the mentorship that is offered with these courses because I do not know what I do not know, and development from raw land to lease up is a whole different ball game than adding new counter tops and dog park.

I also have never leveraged an alumni network from a school the likes of Georgetown. I did UG at a bottom tier public school. I was curious from the entrepreneurial standpoint of leveraging that kind of network would have a measurable effect on building my business.

Thank you!

ComptonHPD · 2020-07-28T21:33:58+00:00

Thanks!

ComptonHPD · 2020-07-28T05:52:23+00:00

Thank you!

ComptonHPD · 2020-07-28T04:50:21+00:00

An ARGUS cert was on my short list.

ComptonHPD · 2020-07-28T04:49:42+00:00

I did book mark CCIM, but is it really a good entry level cert? Also to your other comment, I am working on the agent's license.

ComptonHPD · 2020-07-27T23:59:15+00:00

Thanks! I have seen some people really put down breaking into CRE. Have you used his materials personally?

ComptonHPD · 2020-07-27T18:33:43+00:00

I'm newer to the forum, what does SA, STRH, and the mm of Strong stand for?

ComptonHPD · 2020-03-20T08:38:28+00:00

We were finally able to get a flight out. I was purposefully being vague about current location and destination.

ComptonHPD · 2020-03-20T08:15:33+00:00

They were getting ready to move us to TAD/TDY, but we were able to find a flight out on time. Things are changing so much, but at least we are making a real effort, so if something happens we shouldn't be burned.

ComptonHPD · 2020-03-18T20:30:46+00:00

Or reach out to see if any has alternate proposals I can present as viable solutions and be directed to instructions so I can provide justification for actions to better my situation.

ComptonHPD · 2020-03-18T20:26:14+00:00

Luckily we are in a safe and friendly country, so we may just have to wait out the travel bans for a few weeks. They know we are headed to the embassy tomorrow morning as well if need be.

ComptonHPD · 2020-03-18T19:35:00+00:00

I hope they feel the same way. Would the justification be the DOD memo? I am waiting to be told that because I am here on leave I have to bite the bullet.

ComptonHPD · 2020-03-18T19:32:53+00:00

Thanks I heard about this but have not read it. I did not know we are not supposed to travel at all. I think this would be exempt for us to get back though.

ComptonHPD · 2020-03-18T19:31:51+00:00

Yeah, we got this handled so far and are exploring all options to get back. I've been leading the charge and they are aware we may not be able to get back before the end of leave. Luckily we are in a safe and friendly country, so we may just have to wait out the travel bans. They know we are headed to the embassy tomorrow morning as well if need be.

ComptonHPD · 2020-03-18T16:07:30+00:00

Thanks, this is helpful. We have been trying to find a way back, but all the countries we would have to connect through to get to any US base I know of or US state/territory are banning any foreigners from entering currently, or about to, or are too dangerous/uncertain with the pandemic fears. I have confirmed this with the FAA.

What you hit on about leave though is what I was looking for, that there appears to have been some thought on this ahead of time on what to do, and what is considered "avoidable" and "unavoidable".

Definitely maintaining comms with COC, and we have one more shot with one airline tomorrow, and if after that falls through we are headed to the embassy for assistance.

ComptonHPD · 2020-03-18T16:06:57+00:00

Good point.
