I looked at 20 or so houses when I lived in the NE and I'd dare say every one of them had some mold.

How dare you calculating returns and cashflow? 

@Dare Lamberson Are you looking at only bank financing?

I know, "How dare a Mortgage Broker turn the tables on Realtors right?"

Chad Hi..Thank you again..I going to dare another question.I in buying a property, which needs TLC ( I am OK with doing)..the selling price is lower than my minimum loan amount...so I don't want to just offer 10 or 15k over the price..I asked realtor to ask seller to make improvements or buy appliances and I will make that hugger offer justifiable..seller seems not to want to do so..

Dare to be different.

He went on and on about how he has been renting homes for 25 years and owns dozens of properties, etc. etc. and how dare I ask if he is trying to scam me.

Now dare to think bigger:)

Here, the property is a business and don't you dare pay more for it than it is worth.

I have 15 years of REI experience, and part of that experience was buy and hold out of state, and wouldn't dare try this ... way too many ways to get ripped off or make a unrecoverable mistake, so far too risky for me.
