Unfortunatley they do (the greater fool syndrom) and pay the price as seen in the last crash.

the absolute norm when dealing with contractorsmost won't bother to even get you a bid most of the rest will bid and agree to work, then no-showof those, half will show up late or half drunk and do shoddy work the ones that do really good work and are professional are holding out for larger jobsWhen you find a great contractor, just go ahead and kidnap him, Hold himin a basement until Stockholm syndrome sets in and he is happy to work on your projects.

Avoid the "shiny object syndrome" by narrowing down your niche as soon as possible.

To the OP Kevin Lefeuvre the situation you’re describing is what I refer to as the “hotel syndrome” They’re rating you as if your property was a hotel because that’s all they’ve ever known.

I wouldn’t have had offered such generous price for this house in order to ruled out my competitions; $13K above its REO listing price; only if the agent isn’t seemingly tried to pulled a fast one on me to avoided most buyer’s HOA syndrome, besides the seller’s agent was manipulating the selling price as well… my agent is just now requesting the HOA service coverage from the escrow for me… Any thoughts / advises would be appreciated.TIA

Just look and work on getting smart purchases and don't get the "gotta get a deal going syndrome".

Sorry, People can be mean out here especially those with the big man syndrome.

Next week, for the whole week I'll be a social worker treating those afflicted with real estate investor syndrome, a condition of that effects many who fail to realize reality with grandiose tendencies....

Yes at the end of four years you may be sleep deprived but my only regret was the working full time, when doing real estate 20 hours would have made me much more money and gave me more time with my wife, but I had "safety net syndrome" caused by a weekly paycheck habit .
