Another  broker copied some of the pictures from the listing and fake listed apartment next door. 

that sounds like a deal breaker i am sure the homes are already very old check with the zoning board for possible variance,by the way how big is the lot,can you post a picture

That PHOENIX was slow motion Detroit and that the secondary market would take 15 years to recover.

I would take some pictures before reno, during and after.

Is your profile picture intentionally sideways?

i wasnt a BPer 2 months ago when i was having yard estate sales to clear out all the junk the estate had left on the property but anyways, long story short, i held a couple yard sales.on the 2nd consecutive weekend a browser asked me if i had a permit and i explained how i had just closed on the property and the estate/sellers had left junk behind so i thought what better an oppotunity to see if one's mans trash is another's treasure and so was just holding weekend yard sales till most the stuff is gone and was told i still need a permit so i contacted BOE who said to register online for a temp reseller permit# and i did and then the online system flagged my SSN. i called BOE and they gave me the # to my local BOE field office where i consequently called in and was told to fax my SSN card so i did then they called to say the number field on my ssn card is blank (obviously it is not) so i asked them what do they want, me to expand the image in the fax so i did make an enlargement photocopy and faxed that then they called back to say theres a known problem with their fax machine that is cutting off enlarged images so i actually have to go in person to BOE and show them my SSN card. when i went into the BOE there was a long line (picture DMV!)

@Sarah Grise I think you're missing the big picture here.  

Just sign contracts, maintain good communication, and get pictures!!!

forget about winning him over with a biz plan. and if you don't have a signficant record, don't try to bring it up.show it some deals you have lined up. bring in pictures and present it in a worse-case scenario.

So many images of properties are taken from wacky angles, with poor lighting, and no regard for what is and isn't in the picture.
