A great contractor that bids in good faith can and do end up finding serious hidden problems once the walls are opened.

I'm faithfully doing a lot of reading, researching, digging, etc. -- you all know the process -- and I've gotten my feet wet by pulling the trigger to find properties, make calls, networking et cetera.

I’m a guy of faith so that’s what I view as important in my world .

First comes the idea, then faith in it followed by the implementation.

So have a little faith that things work out for a reason and don't get too bummed out about losing out, I know the feeling!

I have a lot of faith in the deals that I put out and the vetting that I do for the deals that I make available. 

I've never met any of the memebrs yet are these deals done on good faith? 

The IRS pretty much works in a "good faith" system essentially beleiving what you indicate on your return is accurate(you are signing that it is so).There is a possibility that you may be audited.

While it is true that courts generally don't have issues with enforcing such clauses, there are various exceptions to it (e.g. when parties act in bad faith, crazy force majeure situations, etc.).
