Anyone that wants a big pile of cash up front is probably scamming you.

At least that's how I'm seeing it mentioning it three times now.This site is rather anti-guru, tons of opinions and comments as well opinions on what a guru is.

.- Got taken to lunch by my realtor, contractor, property manager, my tenants- Got scammed by a guy who posed himself as a MF lender- Got bullied by a real estate lawyer to sacrifice half my deposit for doing nothing wrong.A not so warm welcome.. got out with my teeth kicked in..That is not to say the market may not be for you!

It's the underwriters that stop allowing this thanks to so many scams with people were pulling.Paying with a cashiers check to themselves but just before closing they would re-deposit into there account via there phone.

They specifically mention the due on sale clause insurance.https://www.equityassurance.us/This seems like a scam to me.  

I am very anti-condo, but that's just me.

I tend to think most mold remediation companies are scam artists for the work they actually do.

Thanks for the advice @Patricia Franciulli Yes, I have done a 1031 Exchange many years ago through Southwest Exchange, I believe they were the company that got busted for scamming their clients, luckily I wasn't one of them as I did business with them a few years before all that happened. $20K and rents for $950, do tell?

Makes me appreciate the anti spam rules and enforcement of BP much more!

There is a FIBI meeting in Pasadena ($20) which is anti pitch, also the LAREIA is this Wednesday also ($20).
