The scammers depend on you to send them your money.Forget about anonymous emails promising sweepstakes wins or pleas from Nigerian princes looking to get millions out of their country.

@Diana Duncan definitely check it out! 

Nice post there was a thread on Do hard money actually been many of them. they will actually fund 100% but you need to pay them a 3k fee or there about up front with no guarantee of funding then its something like 650 per submission according to those who have tried it and posted on BP .. so many of the folks posting on the thread about the company paid the up front money 2 to 3k the 650 submission fees a few times and the deals were never good enough in the eyes of the funding company.. so there you go out 3 to 4k and time and effort.. some on top of it some  were naïve enough to put down non refundable EM with a wholesaler and lost that as well.its quite a model... little to no down side risk and prey on newbies who are the most vulnerable and want to get into the game and I suspect most of them even pull the 2 to 3k fee off of credit cards.So what do you have1. newbie  ( does not really know what a deal is yet2. limited capital but burning desire so they risk the 2 to 3k3. only a screaming deal gets funded as you stated.. newbies generally don't fall off the truck into screaming deals.then you have on the internet  what I call pump and dump due diligence scammers  these are flat out crooks of the Nigerian prince scam mode.. promise you 3% loan 100%  two e mails and your approved.. broken English just need 500.00 to move forward...

Hi guys, new member from Prince George Canada.

Check out Prince of Petworth, I think some people have done digouts and may have references.Ikea cabinets are not 10K. 

@Diana GThis is what I think that’s happening recently that has not been factored in for housing price750k mortgage interest deduction (if primary), for example your co workers scenario SALT 10k limitRapid increase in prime resulting in less LTVThus buyer are less incentivize at the same time lose some purchase powerGiven illiquidity of real estate, the effects won’t be shown over night On the other noteDepending on your holding period for the real estate, Cali is predicted to have a massive population grow,Complication of new permits to build will favor real estate price So rather to wait or jump in now really has to do with your personal situation more than the market it self imho, there’s no right or wrong to it.
