Appreciate the honesty and difference in opinion you have here.

It's honestly making me suspicious of their honesty from the start - surely they should have realized this fact long ago already, being in the market for 8+ years?

To be honest, I think many of them deserve what they got as there were lots of people telling them not to do it.However, on the student loan crisis - which I see a lot of similarities in terms of government intervention driving up college costs due to easy money - I don't see any ways to either prevent a collapse or how an investor can find opportunities by picking up the pieces.Anyone see any good ways to avoid the collapse? 

To be honest, I suspect this happens regularly in all new OD markets while the company gets settled and learns the market.

Honesty is always the best policy - NAR tells their agents to "disclose - disclose - disclose" but many do not and that is where problems develop.

I don't have a lot of money to spend at the moment and if the OKC property needs any kind of rehab it could virtually wipe out my cash savings and leave me flatfooted in Dallas (makes me regret some frivolous purchases in the past, if I'm being honest). I

In all honesty, if you offer 275 he is going to raise to 333K again.

Be personable, genuine, problem solver and honest. I
