The truth is $15k covers a cosmetic makeover, not rehab, not updating, and certainly not remodeling.

That's what people do when they want the truth silenced.Anywhos...news you can use.

Anyway, to tell you the truth, after taking a closer look at the property and the layout, I have become uninterested in this "deal" lol.

If you only have one GC giving their opinion to you, you'll never know if they're telling the truth because you're out of state.

Your family member is seeing the truth, lakeland is a strong market for rentals.

Giving you the unvarnished truth, you are the one who bought a retail business in a space with deferred maintenance and a short lease term left.

Is there some policy against telling the full truth here?

@Steve Vaughan, the truth will always set you free!
