Now you must untrain them.Finally you are putting yourself at risk by collecting rent in person.

It's very easy for an untrained investor to say the wrong thing, even if they mean well. 

Homes built around 1900 have a large opportunity to have extreme hidden cost and problems to an untrained eye.  

It, to the naked untrained eye, seems in decent shape with no obvious signs of distress.

Please forgive me for saying so, but this is the mark of an untrained negotiator - a rookie.  

For the most part my opinion is if an inspection will change your opinion of value on a HUD house, you bid too much.Maybe there are some major structural issues the untrained eye might miss or something like that, but just praying the plumbing is good is a bad idea.By the way here is a quick primer on how to read the PCR:- If it says something is broken then it is and budget for it (don't believe their estimate if given).- If it says it works, assume this is incorrect and budget for it.Your welcome

Looked it up on Zillow and it looks from my untrained eye that it:- Went to auction for somewhere betwen 500 and 800k.- Sold for 1.1m- New owner will fix it up for a few hundred thousand- And possibly sell for 2m?

This leads untrained and unprofessional people lying directly to sellers not taking into account they are messing with peoples lives......they are basing their whole business model on unethical behavior.

I found an abandoned property that would make a great BRRRR 4-plex, and the only thing I could see from the outside was that it had what looked to my untrained eye like foundation problems.I left a note with the owner, and he reached back out to me a couple weeks later and said he's willing to talk -- because the entire back wall fell out. 

@Michael Haas definitely plenty of inventory to my untrained eye in the area but pretty unique for the condition of the place.
