The bureaucracy was ridiculous.

Also,  insurance can be ridiculous as you'll need flood and windstorm coverage not just homeowners. 

Still, I have been quoted $14k to $20k for materials and labor, which seems ridiculously expensive to me.

There are also areas like, Denver Heights, that have been gentrified for years so people are asking ridiculous prices for homes that are unlivable.  

It wouldn’t surprise me however, as many of the fees I’ve seen associated with the program in question are ridiculously high (like $10k to set up an LLC when it should cost a small fraction of that, $250 for a promissory note while most title companies provide them for $50-80, $1k+ per file for a transaction coordinator’s services on a cash deal (typical cost is $200), etc.).

I never heard of this company before in my life, nor have I ever used (or had to use) such a ridiculous device for a showing. 

I feel like a see a regular rotation of forum posts for first time, out of state investors that find themselves out of money and in an absolute mess because they were sold on the idea of a BRRRR; It is ridiculously easier said than done.

That rule is ridiculous by the way.

I believe the fire was started by a squatter.This requirement, as ridiculous as it sounds, was in the master commercial policy, a copy of which had never once been provided nor had this requirement ever been stipulated by the agency.

In my opinion, the stock market is so ridiculously inflated at all times that it barely makes sense.)
