...help me.  I've got truck fever, so this is not a good post for me to see.  I've been looking for an excuse to get a 2-3 year old GMC 1500 Extended Cab :-/

...if they have to ask you to pre-pay so that they can get the materials...RUN !!!! Learned this one the hard way.  Plus, if they don't have the money to front their projects, than they probably aren't killing it in their business.  Also, stay away from Craigslist...another lesson learned.  Word of mouth from other investors and people you trust is the best way in my opinion.  Learn from my mistakes and good luck...!!!

...definitely NOT an investment.  It's basically air you are buying.
