Since the deal fell through, he has made more than they offered him and he still has his original ownership stake.On the flip side, we have another client that bought out his brother's ownership stake at a business valuation price.

A home nearby recently sold (a regular sale) and the appraisal came in a full $100,000 less than the sale price, so the whole deal fell apart.I guess what I am worred about, is when I buy a property I want to be sure I don't offer any more than it will appraise at.

They don't have money...If they have always tried to the right thing and pay you, but then fell victims to economic times after June 1st what is there to gain?  

After doing my research and analyzing this market, I fell in love with the possibilities and cannot fully express my excitement to be here.There are multiple topics discussing the uncertainty and the upcoming collapse, however my opinion differs in terms of investing.

I had one for years that was awesome and last year he fell off the wagon and I was glad to be there to catch all the patch jobs, material wastage, small deficiencies ie: missing outlet covers, doorstops, strippings which you really don’t catch if they are behind furnishes.

So I have used this with success as well.. now obviously  its not mass market its identify through property radar what I want then go after it hard.. this is how I used Property Radar and my lawyer to buy that one I Lake Oswego that fell under the radar I had zero competition . so for CA investors property radar identify your targest then go hard at them.. shot gun approach to me is just that .. hit with 99% misses and what happens is you get discouraged and you quit.. unless your going to say I am going to spend 100k shot gunning per year and have the back up staff to run this stuff down..

Many markets became "Known" for purchasing an Airbnb (Florida, Rocky Mountains, etc.). because of that many people went out and purchased homes and put them on Airbnb (hell I even had a condo in Florida under contract to do this, luckily it fell through).Too many people doing this means travelers had more options, means occupancy rate goes down.2.

They fell behind on their mortgage and all bills.

In the first case it's called referring and in the second it's called prostitution.

You need to be grateful that they fell for your sob story and let you stay this long.
