.: @Steve K.As a matter of fact, I recently discovered $2.2 million dollars, found it in stuffed into Ziploc bags under the attic floorboards of a tear-down I bought at the sheriff's sale.

It's 2023 and I'm in the same boat as I was a year ago when I first discovered the program (haven't made my move yet).

Read blogs, watch a lot of property shows on Netflix, and read books.

Instead of them performing a general assessment which is cheaper they chose to do an inspection which is more invasive and discovered that the porch needed to be scraped and repainted which was something that was never addressed in their general walkthrough and inspection of the home after the renovations and incurring more costs. 

It is filled with resources and a plethora of knowledgeThanks for joining.https://www.biggerpockets.com/blog/think-like-a-real-estate-...I wish you all the best in your real estate journey.

NO lender is going to send you copy of their bank account.. they might have to prove up to a seller or the sellers agent but never send it to you right out of the gate.. and all the other things you discovered its just an off shore scammer trying to scam those that dont know what they dont know.

Others may leave off various fees that aren't discovered until closing.
