I also had to sue a fellow licensed contractor (general builder) who hired us to do a full repaint of a house and then try to not pay us for a beautifully done job (also the builder had stiffed the plumber and an electrical company, their checks had bounced).So all in all, I’ve seen good and bad customers and contractors, and honest and dishonest customers and contractors.

Misleading sellers is dishonest.

I can't stand dishonest people :(

@Casey Caton I'm pretty sure I introduced myself to you in another thread a few days ago, but I am a realtor in Fort smith.

Even now, during our epic run up, there are several ponzi schemes and dishonest managers that get caught every month.Been investing more with larger asset managers, private equity, VC, and various businesses.

Seems you have a dishonest realtor.

@John Thedford are you actually reading the question at hand or speaking from your past experience with one dishonest person?

From your perspective maybe you couldn't sleep at night without knowing you didn't tell them every detail of the deal, but I don't think it would make you dishonest for not telling them.

It's not necessarily dishonest, but it's mostly a "starter" area because you DO NOT NEED any money, just time.

Fear mongering never helps anyone.For sure, you need to do your due diligence because there are developers that are dishonest and might flee with your money and others who could mismanage their project and run out of money before they ever get to complete their project.
