No offense, but how was this profitable?

Hey @Samuel Bavido, no offense but I don't understand your strategy.

Remember offense is taken, not given

I was fairly undisciplined with my personal spending after growing up in an incredibly poor household with a single mother (working in real estate during the global recession) trying to raise my two younger siblings and me.

-"Global warming" regulations to kill jobs.

I mean no offense, but this is why we in the REO world require Proof of Funds before we will accept an offer.

I do care about:Work history - I call the employer to verify income and tenure of employmentincome 3x rent.evictionscriminal - big offenses - sex offender, robbery, etc.  

I can’t throw a rock without hitting a wholesaler these days, between them and all the realtors plaguing the streets (no offense to anyone they can both be great) it might be tough competition.

Good luck, you'll look (no offense) like a fool. 

I don't disagree with this as a global view because I don't follow global markets closely, but I disagree with this in terms of US market.
