They are properties circulated to long lists of unsophisticated buyers and if you are the highest offer you’ve likely outbid a bunch of prospective buyers who underestimated their improvement costs or overestimated their ARV while most likely  proceeding without the ability to perform normal transaction diligence.

@Jay HinrichsThat lender yes made a very bad investment which I am being kind with those wordsI have a non performing loan in BK and a person gave this person $60k loan unsecured while they were in bankruptcy and never even ran credit or checked on his backgroundShe now wants to sue for fraud which great your suing someone in bankruptcy - the money is gone.

And how accurate are the comps you’re getting from the CMA compared to other tools like PropStream or MLS?

A lot of borrowers shop lenders for days to find the "lowest rates" just to find out 3 weeks later that the lender cannot perform on their promise.

I've also written reviews that have been accurate, truthful and harsh of other guests, because I want future guests to read it and book somewhere else, if they think that's wrong. 

What Greg is saying is accurate but you can do some due diligence upfront.

I feel they are most accurate.

Also, explain how you'll share the acquisition costs, such as the down payment, renovation, and closing costs.Payment Responsibilities: Explain how to divide and pay for regular costs like mortgage, property taxes, insurance, homeowners association fees (if applicable), and upkeep expenses.Management and Maintenance: Agree on how property maintenance, repairs, and improvements will be handled, including decision-making processes, funding for these activities, and responsibilities for performing or managing the work.Single Decision Point: For example, I've seen situations where one person agreed to replace an appliance while another strongly opposed it.

Owners mistakenly ASSUME all PMCs offer the exact SAME SERVICES and PERFORM those services EXACTLY THE SAME WAY, so price is the only differentiator.So, the first question they usually ask a PMC is about fees - instead of asking about services and HOW those services are executed.EXAMPLE: PMC states they will handle tenant screening – what does that specifically mean?

How else can I verify past performance?
