Our SRPD has no section in it which specifically asks if the seller has knowledge there was past fire damage (unlike for mold) to the property, however, the buyer's inspection revealed burned wood that had been sprayed in the attic.

There's no shortage of clickbait articles online, including many on BiggerPockets, that claim to reveal "The Best Market for Real Estate Investment."

I would love to hear insights from people who are doing higher marketing volumes and what high level strategies are working (I know you can't reveal all your tricks).Thanks!

Ended up moving my portfolio away from them and its like a breath of fresh air.

Just trying to get around like minded people with fresh ideas.
