Next thing ya know your seller, who was a-ok before, is now all wound-up, sitting talking to some police type, freaking out thinking he's going to prison for life and gonna be Hannibal's cell mate, so now he's 2nd guessing everything so when they asked if he understood what he was entering into it's "Nope, this fancy slick talking guy told me I HAD to sell it like this, I HAD to do as he said, I'm innocent, I'm a great person, I just did what I was told to do HE DID IT, I'm, I'm innocent, nope I didn't understand ANYTHING, THAT GUY took advantage of me!".... 

Out of money and options, he licks his wounds and lets it go for back taxes. 

G'Day folks,I've been in this scared niche called "turnkey" since 2014.There are many battle stories and wounds to share but we are still chipping away lol3,000+ investor calls over the last 10 years and I feel that our beloved niche might be dead...

I wound up putting an offer on a house in Indianapolis after communicating with several knowledgable people including a great realtor and other investors.

So while I kicked my (self inflicted) wounds I studied ecom, and later DTC business. 

Most likely, some construction debris wound up in the drain. 

Im doing a BRRR in Chattanooga area and was wondering who you wound up using for your Builders Risk insurance and if you recommend them? 

First, instead of fighting over deals like there's a limited supply, why don't we all create our own "abundance mentalities" - because no one on this thread has the infrastructure to handle EVERY possible deal:)Secondly, I find it odd that agents are fighting against "off market" sales, but could care less that at least two-thirds of rental transactions are technically "off market" or "off-MLS" (no agents involved).Yet, every agent licensing course covers the handling of rental leases.Guessing that agents only get wound about this topic if a certain number of zero's are involved?

@Christian Beebe - had this same problem, wound up going to a loan broker (local) and LendBase (not local), got decent term sheets from both.  

I wound up making offers on renovated homes - I know the seller got the equity but the stress and time were major factors.
