I see them all the time in the deals I fund.. its a regional thingyour not going to buy much RE in Santa Rosa with 100 bucks as a deposit.I was just down to KSTS  2 weeks ago its really grown. .went to Healdsburg for lunch then landed at Healdsburg airport for cheap AV gas...

Germany, Nordic, & Japanese 5yr rates going negative recently… The bonus in gas prices for consumers in US is a fall in income for resource-rich countries in latin America, Africa, & Australia facing lower commodity prices across the board.

Don't allow them to touch electric or piping or gas appliances.The famous garage door sensors that nee replaced all of a sudden is simply a 2 min re-align the sensor deal. :)Have them send pics of the receipts.

At these numbers by the time I added in earned wage taxes, gas, supplies, phone bill, unknown cost, and the time it takes to sort through all of the information, talk to sellers, and closing the deal I think I would still be upside down averaging 4k a deal.
