Sorry to hear this.I would always say that "There is nothing wrong with any property as long as the price is right".Granted, some are not salvageable and the deal doesn't make sense even if the seller paid to me to take it lolOver the past 10 years I have witnessed many investors trying to do the same thing as you.Purchase from afar without buying turnkey and trying to do it themselves.This has been popular especially the last few years.Not many succeed unfortunately or they don't succeed in my eyes as they are into deals for much more than what they should be.There is a big trend going on where folks are made to "feel involved" with the purchase, rehab and property management process.The properties look great and off-course they do as rehabs cost $40,000 - $50,000.It doesn't sound like a lot of money for folks from CA and NY but for our local standards it is and IMO kills the cashflow and is unnecessary overcapitalization.Each to their own I guess.Just had a call the other week with a fellow from CA that bought a few turd properties from a local scam artist and is flying to town to try and rehab them himself.Another fella I managed to save even tho he lost his deposit of $1,000 as the seller (Another known scam artist) made him commit to the deal without allowing an inspection or even a walkthrough...If that isn't a red flag then I don't know what is 🤷‍♂️Hat's off to you for flying into to town to see the property for yourself.Wishing you much success

Someone tried to scam me on here, asking to do business with him and lend him money in a double close. 

I would not mess with Booking.com since many scams come from that site and so many nightmare stories!

If these people are "professional tenants," there are all kinds of scams that they could be running.

Not sure if you are trying to scam or are being scammed.Be careful. 

Whatever you do dont get scammed like many docs do by syndicators.

If there wasn't, I'd be telling you this is a total scam - stay away!

He and Kristin Beach scammed dozens of people to the tune of millions from their companies “Land Flipping 101”, “Six Figure Land Flipper”, “One Away Ventures”, “Top Dog Land Deals”, he also owns “Griffin River House”, and more.

For $30,000 and what they claim you will get this is complete scam.

The person you recommended is the person that scammed me - he took $500 and has done nothing and refused to take my calls and emails - if you know him I would appreciate if you could get my money back.Would appreciate if anyone else has recommendations and also insight on the fines.
