It wasn't personal toward anyone here, I've been around a lot of guys with a truck, a magnetic sign and a ladder rack who think they are more entitled to what they really are. :)

The ones I bought for the next deal are as well, just want to make sure you're comparing apples to apples.

Compare and apple to an apple.

If you can't do it yourself, you need a list of recently sold comps so you can determine the ARV (after repaired value) of the property - this is what you'd expect to sell the house for, in perfect condition.You evaluate SFHs based on $ per square foot, so you can make apples to apples comparisons to similar properties.

So, we are talking apples and oranges here.

:) One idea - you could get one of those screens that just hang in front of a door and are split down the middle, held together by magnets.

They might as well have drawn stick figures playing hop scotch while juggling apples on it.

People loan friends money all the time that never get paid back, but obviously this is on a different scale and not apples to apples, but you probably see my point.

In some areas investors have a bad reputation because of a few bad apples, so you need to let them know you are serious and worth it for them to help.

as you get more units, the law of numbers says you'll get bad apples so it's best to cover your butt.
