Hey good folks of BP. 

There is a ton of risk for the seller as we know in these deals and there are bad actors in these deals as well.. ran into many of them buy sub to never pay of the mortgage rip the rents and down the road..some off those folks got criminally charged and got prison time..

When folks start to argue one way or the other with it, there seems to be an assumption that the buyers agent does very little before or during the transaction.

It's people like you who cause folks who would actually benefit from an ESA to be painted with the same broad scammer brush. 

Quote from @Jon Averette: Hey folks!

As folks move from older buildings to these swanky new apartments, their old units come on the market.

Stay tuned and work with their folks for details, should be some exiting things in the future.

Some folks DO try make it a scam - it's not in and of itself. 

The 1% rule doesn't matter as much if you have a 5-10 year investing horizon because it does not take into account appreciation or other benefits of holding (tax benefits, etc.)The 1% rule stops a lot of folks from getting started.
