That's the kiss of death for a bird dog amongst real investors who become repeat buyers - the bird dog / wholesaler who slaps a price tag on any steaming pile of crap and tries to tell you it's a "deal".

A tenant called me last night stating that she's been finding little piles of fiberglass insulation here and there the past week or so.

Excellent Jon - Congratulations on the sale, nice profit there.There was a HUD home out in Celina I was sort of interested in, was sitting on a couple acres - that was the real attraction, that and an asking price in the 50's.Home was a on a concrete footer and needed a lot of work, a full gut of the interior was in order - had potential though.Couldn't bring myself to place a bid, it was just too far from where we live to make it worthwhile.
