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.

We are hopeful and expectant that this use was a mistake and you would not intentionally infringe on a federal trademark.

A very common mistake new wholesalers make is to think they have a deal when they don't.  

I expect for this to change in 2016 if the case doesn't drag out forever.Make no mistake though....for longer, large syndicated offerings or funds that transact under Title IV there will be a secondary market of some sort.  

That way, I can learn the business and if the investment gets into a rough situation, I'll be able to learn from my mistake and hopefully not take a huge financial hit.
