Have you heard about "buying when there's blood in the streets"?

@Gibson BeusI read a cool Japanese proverb the other day-“A spoonful of sweat can save a bucket full of blood”See, told ya it was cool. 

these scam artists make my blood boil, they rampant in Detroit.There was a sizable write up about this last week in the local paper.

I quote quality materials and if they want me to re-quote with thinner drywall or junk trim to save some money, so be it, but I'd rather be picking it up.  

So, I guess it depends on you, as the wholesaler, what you want to invest in and how you want to protect that investment (time, money, blood, sweat and tears).I believe that transparency and ethical behavior from the wholesaler is imperative.

I have no interest in being a slumlord--there is more to life than squeezing blood out of stones) I have been to three other "in person showings" with three other wholesalers and it was either conducted as an auction or they just said "email me your offers." 

The new homes I've seen were quick turn new with thinner materials per code yet w/ cracks in the foundation and driveway.If it has a newer roof and fuse box, it should be good for 10-20 more years before something major.

@Samira Jaber Honestly I am a flipper by blood, and only held rentals if I had little other choices.

So the question becomes, “If you don’t have the cojones to invest in the best real estate market in US history, what makes you believe you will have the giant huevos needed to invest when there’s blood in the streets?”

Less experienced landlords don't believe me, but roommate situations are much higher risk than a married couple or blood relatives.
