Again, we are talking about unwarranted reviews, not true 3- or 4-star reviews.

I've been eyeing land in Central and West Texas, and they occasionally have some interesting opportunities, but some of them seem too good to be true. 

The first was true "Sweet" corn. 

The challenge is knowing if the listing agent actually tells your offer to the seller or not.For example, if a distressed property is $650k and you want to offer $620k, the listing agent says the lowest the seller may accept is $645k, but is that actually true or made up because the listing agent wants their commission?

That is the true value of participating in things like this that are a bit more involved. 

There must be an egress in all sleeping areas and make sure the listing states it's a sleeping loft that is not a true bedroom.

A true Portfolio program offers a 15% Down for any SFR or up to a 2-4 Unit Multifamily but requires proof of some sort of income.

SI is a true turnkey provider.

If all that is true try @Dave Foster.

I am just attempting to give you my view point and possibly highlight some points that may be a bit painful to hear but which are nonetheless true and which may help in the future, idk.
