There is not even an accusation there.

So i would rather over estimate than underestimate fixup costs.As I was in the process of leaving our 1 hour viewing, he told me that lately he has witnessed some odd behavior in the house.

Many of us have witnessed investors losing their life savings on deals that looked great on paper but never performed in reality.

Hi @Curt Davis I have witnessed several US based companies advertising their real estate offerings to Canadians, and also attending trade shows with not much success.  

I can see a lot of the properties boundary lines as there is house, barn, several outbuildings wit gated entry and large creek running through middle.

It seems you feel the same way about people within RE investing and are choosing to make a blanket statement/accusation because of that.This does not give you the authority to pick arbitrary profit margins and call anyone that doesn't stick to your number's unethical or predatory.  

Posted by @John Thedford  I could argue based on your post and never meeting you or knowing your character that you are doing the very thing that I am being accused of wanting to do in the future:"If you sign a contract and have no intentions of closing, you are misleading the seller."

,You make some very strong and rude accusations for one who doesn't know me.My comments were regarding the numbers in a deal that I believe you and I would agree would not fit the standard for what would be an acceptable deal, but I was only keeping to the topic of numbers and how it is that sometimes deals don't have to fit the 70% rule.

Thank you for your wit and wisdom!

no sweat I close all over the place.. only issues I ever have are if I am in Maui or something and its a state that requires a witness on the deed.... that can be challening
