Quote from @James Wise: Quote from @Michael Smythe: @Nicole Sweat Martel stopped referring our company because we wouldn't support their optimistic numbers on purchase price, rehab budget, ARV and rent.We also dealt with a lot of novice investors who didn't seem to want to take the time to understand the process and the challenges.ALL investors should understand that when renovating old homes, there are unexpected surprises that no one could predict.
