The more scenarios you encounter or read about increases your knowledge.  

But, my latest encounter with a specific wholesaling operation in DFW has once again left me with a nasty taste in my mouth.  

Did you find that there were any unique obstacles to building modular homes other than the obvious building code, zoning etc. that you encountered in SoCal that you wouldn't elsewhere?

This is the first time we encountered where the drive way is so beyond touch up repair.

If homes were already mortgaged and were cash flow positive at the time, despite losing considerable equity and maybe no longer being able to leverage any of that equity (or lack thereof) and thereby significantly slowing expansion plans for a few short years, did the collapse of home pricing pose a significant risk or financial set back to you in other forms such as loans being called due (particularly Private money or hard money loans as opposed to conventional), were you forced to sell properties for a significant loss for some reason that I am not understanding or seeing, were rents considerably affected in the downward direction for a short period of time, or where there other significant financial set backs you encountered as a result of the collapse of housing values that may not be easily identifiable to a newbie such as myself?  

Everyone I've encountered who needs to move within the next couple days has been a total flake (at best).

Then I go to Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Hungary, Bulgaria and other Danube River countries and feel sticker shock at the cost "in dollars" of a Big Mac and I see the hidden inflation and devaluation of our dollars' power.

I "sell" them on taking care of those things themselves by letting them know that the "handyman" type guys I've encountered are kinda creepy.

So you should have a buffer to handle your expenses in case you encounter some issues.If you have a limited amount of funds, I would choose my first deal very carefully.

I can look for a new agent for you to work with that is more service minded than what you may have encountered so far.
