A super basic flower bed -  sometimes black mulch sometimes red mulch.  

I'm doing about 2-3m worth of deals each year, and I maybe pull 1-2 agent based comps a year to double check a property that just does not feel right because a neighborhood is a black box for us.The world is changing, real estate agent business is a shrinking now of days with technology, like it or not.. 

Having to play in the "Grey" Zone and not in the Black and White.To grow a Serious company with a Strong Reputation we need to be moving toward CLOSING then RESELLING on the Open market (As some call it, REAL Wholesaling).Anybody Actually doing this on a High Level in multiple markets?

I state to them that leasing is all about the black and white or in other words some form of lease whether it's annual or monthly.

And even if you do have a non-recourse loan, there will be ramifications to walking away from the property like a black mark on your credit.If you are able to get a non-recourse investor loan and not in your personal name, then the leverage may help reduce some risk if things go really bad.

One thing I have learned over the years is areas have commonalities but also have different twist and turns.I have learned so much from this site it is amazing.I do agree that accurate information is critical.My learning experience started with "knowledge is power" and then over the years went to "applied knowledge is power".The reasoning is if you do not apply and put into force what you learn then it is not working for you but sitting in your brain collecting dust.Then I finally moved to "applied and accurate knowledge is power".If the knowledge is correct and true and you apply it you will get the best results.There are some grey areas where it's not all black and white but you work to try to find the most accurate answer possible to a situation.I have found this topic interesting as well as the one Rich posted among others.It's refreshing not to see the same topic of a common question asked for the thousandth time on the forum.

During the interview it was quite obvious what information they were most intersted in.Jeremy Black was the speaker and I will say that for what you do learn in the three days, it's worth the near $200.  

The Chicago Dept of Public Health told me that they get calls all the time about black mold, but nobody has ever done a test and found it active and airborne.  

It came back will high toxic black mold and we could not say anything to the tenants about it. 

If your buyer fails to buy, you're the one that's going to get a black eye with the listing agent.
