Some folks like white, some black, some stainless; some want through the door water/ice; some might prefer a convection unit vs. microwave....For a flipper, why not just offer a credit at close, and let the buyer pick their own?

you are treading on thin ice on either path and i'd be very careful.

Maybe another crack in the ice!

The ridiculous thing about this is that to save pennies on the dollar, we lived in a totally dark, ice cold house.

in maybe a BP first Ice Cube quote....."

Happened too many times for first 3-4 years.There is no risk of loosing the "deposit" either and it's just a bit of skin in the game even tho the skin is always yours to keep heheCovered all angles mate and made this as fool proof as possible but still enough to make folks "jump" through hoops to see who is legit and who isn't.As Chris mentioned, 90% of investors we don't end up working with and even when many commit to the deposit, I refund many times as I don't feel a good fit.Even with such stringent criteria, we still get mud thrown on us here on BP as some folks slip through the cracks.I could only imagine if we took on everyone and just focused on pushing sales.I can sell a TV to a blind man and ice to an eskimo.

Now we haven't bought anything in 16 months because people, in my opinion, are paying to much in a market that is still on thin ice.

I think once you factor that in and for sure lower on going maintenance Vegas is not all that much different than many mid west higher tax rate markets that are subject to snow and ice wear and tear.Now I like Ohio i do a ton of bizz there and do stuff in Toledo as well but just throwing this out there as a fellow west coast investor..  

Gaston County appears to be on the verge of a major economic boom.Tony’s Ice Cream in downtown Gastonia.

As for this 50% rule being the national average......the law of averages would also dictate that you should feel average if you have one hand in a bucket of cold ice and the other hand in a bucket of hot coals!!
