I discovered BP a while ago but didn't really get involved until recently.I must admit that waiting to get involved was a mistake.

You can only learn by doing in this industry and trust me, no matter how much experience you have you may still make mistakes so don't focus too much on it.

I made a rookie mistake and connected a buyer to a seller without a written agreement and didn't get my fee.

Thier is a lot to know on this kind of investing and you can easily make mistakes that will cost you in the future.   

They got knocked around a bit and learned by making mistakes, just like most investors do. 

I cant dispute that it is poor customer service on their part but it is certainly an understandable mistake.

We live in a "non-disclosure" state (AK), and past sale prices are not in the public records, however much critical information is: Lot size, square footage, ZONING (one of the most important IMO), # of beds & baths, year built, date of last deed change, city/county assessed value (do not mistake this for market value), taxes, and other info is (here) readily available on city/county websites.

I made the mistake of overbuilding in the hood and had the same results.

For example I don't look at any manufactured housing, I don't look at anything from New York, I don't look at 2nds where the 1st is in foreclosure unless I think there's a mistake.. etc.
