Wouldn’t call it a red flag. 

Turning your little green houses in to large red hotels.

Qualify the contractor and highlight the benefits of working together which would include consistent work for them and regular paycheck.Personally, I'd buy the materials and never pay any money upfront, a "red flag" on its own.

The other flag was Lee pitching one product or another every other day!

It reminds me of the “ Cutting the red tape for the rebuilding period.”

I think Collin is being a little tongue in cheek with the Boone's Farm comment.I work with a local, large wine store, wait for their semi-annual sales when they compound discounts and buy 2 cases of each (white & red) for the largest discount.Basically I'm setting out wine that retails for $11-12-13 that I have paid $7-8 a bottle.  

You will always get more money listing it but sometimes it takes a bit longer wind has a little more red tape.

What are some rental property green flags you've seen that scream buy? 

Real estate for the last four years was betting on red or black but the ball was fixed to win as it was nearly impossible to lose.

I'm a local Baltimore realtor and I know for a fact that this market is red-hot and everything, and I mean anything, can be sold for the right price.
