Then I started asking her questions she really didn't want to answer because they revealed her lies. 

Not sure about a HELOC yet...but that raises another question that will reveal my beginner status, perhaps.

A good background check will reveal their prior addresses, along with the dates for those addresses. 

But to put another wrinkle in the discussion, this realtor just revealed that she also flips homes.

The inspections came back earlier today and listed many minor issues but did reveal a few concerning items.

I noticed a pattern in his statements and it revealed a fallacy that most people have: He felt that the profit in flips comes from the rehab.

Could use a little facelift but other wise good to go. the other home was not originally in the plans to be sold but during conversation, and revealing that the guy owns both houses, we started talking about a package deal for both.

No, I wouldn't be happy over paying $80k, after the inspection revealed lots of damage to the house, I could only offer them $40k. 

But that's a whole separate issue and a mistake I won't make again.)Situation (as relayed via email from title company to my agent): "A tideland search was done and it revealed an 8% riparian claim without a grant. 

Owner is very form in his price but before I reveal it, I’m curious what other think.
