A 1.0 score is pretty much impossible.Overall, I'm extremely pleased with the progress that we've made as it pertains to improving our Speed and as a result, our Apdex, because it means that our users are much happier as they navigate the site.

Hi Chris - I would proceed with EXTREME caution.

The answer is always the same (or should be) and that is, YES, BUT IF you buy right, know your market, and have a plan and means to execute it.The "R" word is a common word that comes up, the truth is, risk can be mitigated with the right strategy for the area and the right price for the investment.What do you want to do?

That was my first post on here and it was extremely helpful.I actually just made contact with a guy who researches the houses that are coming to auction and buys them for investors at the auctions and charges a fee.

I agree with Jason, the extra time between fully executed adendums and a 3 day inspection clause should be sufficient to evaluate any large (potential) problem you are worried about.Don't make any habits of backing out, but in such extreme cases where a large issue was identified after offer made, you certainly have a right and reason to either re-negotiate or back out.

Shareholder loans are a commonly audited situation; this can also cause the taxpayer a lot of unnecessary paperwork and can be more trouble than it is worth.

My buyer is extremely happy to have an opportunity to make some money, I am happy with my assignment fee.

Lots of links on the wholesaling sticky post... but working with cash buyers and getting a non-refundable deposit seem to be common themes.
