And I know I'm the "oddball" troll here and I'm about to say something that will make you all think I'm absolutely nuts....I don't hire attorneys at all.

Suddenly they get another offer and go with that.I guess I need to bid higher when there is actually some meat on the bones.I haven't been to the Trustee sales in a while but I am assuming it is still nuts over there with people paying retail.

My point is you don’t have a real estate issue.I like Telluride.I’m going to give you my secret trout spot if you like to fish.  

They could just be fishing for a high price.You can call the agent and ask them why the properties have been sitting so long.

Also, trust your gut... if it smells like a fish it probably is a fish.

We really like that area.Gentrification potential: Grade B+Jefferson-Chalmers/CreeksideJefferson Chalmers has been called “a diamond in the rough,” with more than 160 acres of riverfront parks, boat launches, fishing and outdoor recreation opportunities.

Finding a contractor for pre-purchase bids is a tough nut to crack, but I am motivated and persistent! 

Proceed if you determine you can handle things but be ready to book the minute you suspect this may be beyond what you can handle. there are plenty of fish in the sea, as they say. 

I have the same problem, my PASA does not do anything that would help me a lot, just because he has bigger fish to fry, I would probably contact Derek if he could work on all states.

Many trades are in demand so no reason to discount services.Just like any investor a trade is going to look at ROI ( return on investment ).Hope you find it but that is tough nut to crack right now.
