I hope you enjoy your stay despite the rocky start, and please know that your fellow BPers in this forum do not do business in such a dishonest way.

I am never dishonest with the sellers, if the property is in good condition and could be listed I always suggest that as an option.

If I've got it right, then the only thing you're doing wrong is working with dishonest people.

I did not see any reason to think that they are being dishonest during my experience with them for the past 14 months.

Hello @Casey Caton, I am a broker and serve both Fort Smith and Northwest Arkansas.

As Landlord's, we all have to learn the sad truth about people is that they are dishonest and will tell you anything in order to make themselves look good.

You're right about up-sellers although I have observed many wholesalers getting much more sophisticated and dishonest, (if that's possible). 

I just feel like, say if I were dishonest and was trying to sell a property with some big flaws, I’d try to fly it under the “sorry tenants can’t be bothered, drive by’s only” excuse and hope for the best.

Dishonest and untrustworthy!

I'm definitely not in the business of being dishonest or unethical. thank you for your thoughts!
