Of course in elementary school this is all taught with fun games with pictures and lighthearted competitiveness, but as they get older and more jaded, the courses get more serious and life-like.By the time they graduate "high school" they would be so aware of their financial surroundings that the advantage they had over those who went to "regular schools" would not even be fair.Imagine pitching that idea to young parents about your exclusive school for wealth?

It just wouldn't work for us.Then she is probably just jaded with buyers in general (and maybe everyone else in the business), not you personally.

All,Ok it was my fault for not providing all the details but man a lot of you sound jaded.

If so, do you think that's because the politicians at the local level are less jaded and more idealistic (both of which can be good things)?

Otherwise I'll just spend my time on Houzz and Pinterest.There are plenty of blog posts out there that give the behind-the-scenes details of how the renovation shows do and don't work (no, they will not work on spaces that won't be on air; yes, they will make a mess of your property in some fashion), so I'm not totally jaded by what I see on tv. 

He is asking us to deliver back 3% ($4800) at closing from our proceeds.The advantage is it seems this would be a done deal if we agree and he is already living there, and has agreed to forgo any inspection or further negotiations.If we don't not go with him, our agent will show the place, but believes the tenant will be emotional and a potentially jaded resident and wants to be there during each showing.   

@Jade Florez, thank you for your response.When evaluating a property based on price, I’ll be sure to not use BCAD as a resource to calculate purchase/sell price on a property.

My guess is the folks you're speaking to have heard it all before from many aspiring investors and might be a bit jaded.
