guilty as charged.i just bought an auction home on one of the website ones sight unseen.The home was supposed to be occupied so I was not going to make the 800 mile trip anyway . my decision was based on the comps, interview's with 3 area agents and great information from the listing agent.it turns out the owners moved out,the listing agent sold the property to the former owners,a new roof and other repairs left the property in good condition.The agent even sent more pictures .The $50k in equity leaves me with plenty of cushion for some minor p&c repairs

Most construction workers are willing to do side work for cash and if you treat them right, they will tell their buddies and maybe even plead your case to the boss (assuming you need a large project done).I would say that after vendors, the best referrals for contractors come from construction workers.  

I have met many people that have an over inflated sense of their abilities (I am guilty of that myself from time to time) and this has cost them thousands of dollars.
