Contractors by themselves are not necessarily reliable as they may low ball the numbers in the hope of getting some work with you.

NASB with Jason Zook had an appraiser who low-balled my appraisal by using a city about 20 miles away as comps on a quad plex cuz nothing sold within 6 months in my city, instead of using comps from 12 months ago.

If they don't want to play ball, your best bet may be to refinance the whole thing now with someone who will.

I have gained a lot of insight and motivation just by reading some of the threads filled with great experiences and information.I am hoping to start networking with investors, wholesalers, agents, brokers, lenders, property managers, and contractors, especially in the DFW area, to get the ball rolling in my real estate investing.

If you are going to make a low ball offer, day 1 on the market is not the time to be making low balls.

I know there are a lot of dudes in that area that play ball and own homes so I would reach out to some of them as well and connect with who they trusted.

I want to keep the ball rolling, I just want to make sure it's rolling towards profit and happiness.  

There is one that meets at Golden Corral on New Circle but the one we are talking about is better lol.

Now, I know most of you are reading this and thinking of all sorts of things that I forgot or should look at or need to know but I just wanted to get the ball rolling on looking at deals and wanted to know what the BP community thought about this one!

No ( but a good idea) Now regards to them screwing up, yes it does sound like they dropped the ball, but this can be rectified by going after them by legal means and collection matters.
