I do know about the high taxes in the some areas, they are ridiculous.

The landlord tenant laws in Oregon are just ridiculous here.

He rented to one that found Manhattan rents ridiculous, especially after 09/11 there was great demand for office space in Manhattan, so many Manhattan office based business moved to Queens, and even stores that's been vacant a while were rented, even a store that formerly housed a supermarket quickly became an office hub.Then, he had a barber shop tenant, whom he evicted, and left behind a fully equipped shop.

While I think Denver's owner-occupier crowd is definitely bidding up prices, I also think investors in Denver have started investing for appreciation due to the ridiculously high appreciation the market has seen in the past year.

My personal position is that wholesaling can be legal, however, most newbies are following ridiculous strategies, advice, and sometimes outright ignoring state laws.

You completely leave out the fact that the entire metropolitan area has a population much higher.McAllen 2010 population 129,877McAllen-Edinburg-Mission Metropolitan area 2010 population774,769Comparing a central city against a wealthy suburb is completely ridiculous in terms of crime/safety, and everyone knows that.If you want to compare McAllen to other cities it's own size, that are comparable, try this:Amarillo, TX 8 out of 100Abilene, TX 13 out of 100Waco, TX 8 out of 100Odessa, TX 10 out of 100Now I could care less if you don't want to invest in the RGV, or if you don't feel it has potential but I really don't like how you are spreading misinformation in terms of crime/safety when you have absolutely no clue.

Misogynistic behavior is not only blatant discrimination, but the includes the dismissal, devaluation and ridicule of opinions voiced by a female. 

It just seems that in the last 1-2 years the deals from wholesalers have gotten much thinner, and some are just ridiculous and near retail.

Line them up and make some ridiculous offers. 

It is the ridiculousness of their requests.
