I would rather make 0% interest instead of way over paying with a premium bidding state where I lose $$$ every time there is a redemption. 

The problem is if this continues I cannot be making payments with no end in sight.

I don't want to lose a deal waiting for an appraiser! 

Second, all I have at risk of losing if I walk away from the deal is the cost of inspection and appraisal. 

I recently bought a house sight unseen.  

If I chose to push it, he could not only lose the sale but he could be subject to an ethics violation.

You pick some scenario that most people won't qualify for, advertise that, knowing you will lose money on that minority of transactions, and jack up the pricing on the commodity stuff that normal people actually qualify for, to make up for it. 

Zillow is closing down their offers program following loses in the third quarter of 2021 of $380 million.

You lose $400 a month if you never have a single repair or any vacancy and manage it yourself for free and don’t value your time. 😬  

In fact, if you have an owner that owns the property in their personal name and quit claims it to their LLC and they are the sole owner they will still lose their permit.
