If it's a light pastel, it's great to keep for rentals when needed and I just take the paint back to shake it when I am ready to use it.

I believe Don was referring to how L/O are taught at seminars, not how ethics are taught...And I assume what Don means is exactly what Brian mentioned in his post -- large deposits, high rents and inflated sales prices to unqualified buyers who are unlikely to get qualified during the period of the L/O.This is what I'm hearing is being taught at many seminars these days...though hopefully some of the gurus are a bit more subtle about it than that...
