Really good contractors is the pot of gold at the end of the Lucky Charms rainbow you see on their cereal box.

For the local market it is worth it's weight in gold. 

Good attorneys who really know what they are doing are worth their weight in gold.  

However, since this property is not worth anywhere near that amount, the odds of it selling at "upset" sale are 1 in a trillion and that 1 would have to know there's gold buried under the property.If it were in the "judicial" tax sale, my lien would be wiped out, cash burned.

If they truly understood those costs, they'd be much more likely to want long-term relationships with customers...and would likely be willing to pay for those relationships with lower prices.Personally, when I hire good contractors, I recognize that I'm getting value as well, which is I try to treat my good contractors like gold...

Bottom line is anything over 700 is gold.

We will go through 100's of bad ideas / revisions to get to the gold, so this is a great process!

@Jay Hinrichs whose words on these BP forums I have to say are worth more than gold, really nails it that TK generally works if you know the people who will be taking care of your property very intimately, as well as if you scale your TK properties (i.e. you own 20-100+ properties rather than just 1 or 2).  

Community bank relationships are worth their weight in gold and allow one to pounce when deals come up...

With this type of broker you can multiply yourself, make sure you have an agreement to pay them for their time and expense (don't be cheap here, they are worth their weight in gold, treat them well, pay them well)Expired Listings when you get expired listing in your investing area make an offer 25% below the expired listing price.
