Had to share for the laughs - Truth in Advertising

[Scott Seaman]

Spent a couple weeks down in Tampa/St. Pete looking through a bunch of properties and had to laugh when this showed up on my screen:

It pretty well summed up how I was feeling about most of the "deals" I'd seen up to that point. "Wholesale" deals that are actually $10K added on to the price I could currently buy it on the HUD Homestore. Agents too busy to call you back (and that was a $300K property he had listed, not some $30K dog he didn't want to mess with). Auction.com and the County both pulling properties from sale before they finalized. Things eventually picked up and a few good things look to be working out so not a total waste.

Plus a great new screensaver to remind me to doublecheck everything I think I have learned before I get ahead of myself and buy an Income Reducing Property. :)

Sounds like a lot of listings that come up in my search....I called about showing instructions on one last week and the listing agent just said the front door was open because everything worth stealing had already been stolen.
