In general, it is always good to look at the taxable value every year for your property while you still own it when the tax statement comes.If you feel you can support a lower taxable value with sold comparables that are like your property nearby, then it is worth your time to try to dispute the value.It is true there is a very short timeframe to schedule a time to go in and dispute the taxable value with your local property tax assessor usually and the deadline is printed on the annual tax statement.The reality is real estate does not always go up in value.To your success!

Is this not true? 

Building a true buyers list requires networking and effective marketing channels, especially if you have the capacity to expand beyond your local market.

The same is true for home warranties.

I lived there myself before so I knew it wasn't true but was curious.

I consistently see cash-on-cash returns above 15% but you won't see that on a beautiful property. 

Assuming that they may make double, could be true, or could be completely untrue. #2) If you are banking on the fact that the listing agent is motivated by making double the money and stear the property to you.....that means you are operating under the assumption the agent is unethical and willing to do something illegal, ie stear their seller to a  worse offer so they can make more money.

but the taking money and not receiving the note well that's just theft.. seems to me that should be criminal as well. if those allegations are in fact true..  

But seems too good to be true.  

@Matt Buroni very true and good points.
