@Victoria DransoffIf the tenant is really desperate (or malicious), he or she may also decide to file for bankruptcy.

Even with all that experience, and multiple layers of protection from bad contractors, we have still been robbed twice in the past 4 years by shady and/or desperate contractors.  

Is he desperate for work?

If the property has been sitting on the market, or there is another reason that would make them seem more desperate to sell, then a low offer may be okay to send.

And in scenario D they are often either pissed off or desperate.  

And great call on the written confirmation piece, as my contractor is telling me inspector is bailing on him and that appointment dates were never confirmed.And yes, I'm itching to just do something in the house to desperately get started to make things easier for the contractor.

This is my issue with 1% agents... they are literally taking food off their families table in a desperate attempt to undercut other agents and take the listings at a discount.

Two desperate souls needing a solution That neither of them could have ever dreamed possible, and for almost no drama or stress.

During the past two years my wife has bought us 21 units spread over 7 properties, all in the triangle of I-44, Gravois Ave, and River des Peres.

We quadrupled our initial investment in just 15 years and moved out to the country, retired and bought a turn of the C farm in desperate need of repairs.
