We'd like to believe that everyone is hard working, diligent, intelligent, competent, aware, educated, morally upright, and all those things, but it simply is not true.

@Koji Yoshida welcome to BP.ive heard on the podcast several times that this is a numbers game and you might have to analyse 100 properties to make offers on a few to get accepted on 1. so i guess the moral of the story is dont get discouraged by the fact you haven't found your deal yet.also have you attended any local meetings?

I've taken the 3day coarse from Than Merrill, watched several blogs by the various real estate morals about the different avenues of flipping, wholesale and house hacking and have felt overwhelmed on where to begin.

But him moving in has been a big boost in my commitment and motivation in real estate, but in everything else too.  

Those who present moral hazards will lose their credibility and fail in this business.

I would like to preface this by saying that Yes A LOT of  contractors have given the GC a bad stigma with them upcharging and not being moral.   

So I admit I come into real estate from a place of wanting to boost and secure future financial independence, not necessarily due to a love of the field itself.

That way their credit gets a little boost and remove the foreclosure on their credit so they could move on with their lives. 

Tony, I would say that boosting your credit score is the no-brainer investment, then possibly starting a LLC and boosting your business credit (may take two years) are the best investments for now.

ethical and moral issues aside it really depends on the state.. they really don't care .. some states view this as selling real estate without a license which is against the law.. the way you will do it or be taught to do it.. big difference in legality and what your talking about which is taking the moral and ethical high ground.
