Thus, leaving $60,000 available for the note holder to claim.I did not sell the note to Ben (who offered me $30k for it which again another red flag).

Are there red flags I should be looking out for?

We used to leave a bottle of Proseco and sometimes a bottle of French red wine. 

I went to the property and some other red flags came up.

What about some bold black/dark colored details to add contrast with the white?

Red flag.

No one is missing opportunity with the land bank properties, it is just surrounded with red tape and corruption.

- How do you assess the market and identify red flags?

Sellers did not allow us to get professionals in to give estimates for a french drain before closing (yes, our red flag we should have walked away with), but agreed to lower closing price.

Got out of that deal - too many red flags.
