So, I brought up rip out and dry wall, worst but to money and it (it) could last...

If you rip out the old tub there a lot of work, carpentry, drywall, plumbing new faucet, etc. so lots of ancillary costs.

If you were in my area, I would try and get you with someone like me that actually gives a rip.  

I am not some nameless, faceless entity that will rip you off like a bank. 

Not rip you off but protect me and the someone that makes the mistake is going to pay......   

@Karl Krentzel  on another thread that was going around yesterday there is a bunch of fraud going on right now with bogus buyers and sellers trying to snake small dollars out of investors.And for that reason alone many Realtors chimed in that their brokerages now require verified prequals before they will show property or write offers.. this to keep agents from getting abused and others getting ripped off by this new wave of Nigerian sucker stuff.And again along with the reality at least in our market No prequel and your not going to buy much if anything..

My last statement about weeping for the youth...I stand by...as did generations before me weep for us...because (as a general rule) you don't have enough experience yet to know the implications of what you say...don't worry though...right now I'm the bigger fool...for caring enough to try and lead the un-leadable down a more righteous path...you know like giving a crap whether someone gets ripped off.And while you may think the info here on BP is stale and the same tired advice...it didn't cost anyone half a years salary to get it....that's my point.I'm sure we will end up friends Adam...but right now you're channeling my younger brother who loved to argue, but never gave himself ground to stand on...in other words it's not a discussion it's just exhausting.So, I surrender...whatever you come back with is the smartest thing I've ever heard and you've totally turned me around on montelongo...I'll be calling a him for a date.

I put a complaint on Wendy Lovejoy via REI Blacklist on facebook, called the national and state Real Estate Investor Association, and filed complaints with rip off report, better business bureau, consumer affairs and will file with the real estate commissions office. 

So yea thats why i really want to go to this auction i have no experience with water/ storm damage i just want a place to keep a boat...What are some best case and worst case senarios the pictures of most houses with the open houses have dry wall cut out about halfway up the wall and most floors ripped out except for some plywood etc.... the ones with no open house have been deemed unsafe for entry by the State of NY so they obviously need more repairs than i am willing to do....Thankyou all in advanced

that you were making a 20k rip i would be totally pissed and I would walk.
