Are you going down that road feeling bad

Guess you could say I am the extreme. Intense research is my thing with properties. I have heard repulsion stories from potential buyers. Certain(not all)Sales Agents who handle final foreclosures(REO's)for certain mortgagee's. I refer to these(certain agents)as sidewalk Lawyers who never sat foot in a law school, let along passed the Bar exam. Only law studies they should be knowledgeable with is their State Real Estate Saleman examination covering the law of their state. I have come to believe many of those(certain agents)were absent on law day. Caveat emptor is a phase all of us should master when dealing with sidewalkers. Ear catcher phase: "Your probably not aware of the new revised state laws on real property purchases." When I hear this I immediate close my deal with that agent, because it is almost 98% BS. Like I said Caveat emptor means 'Buyer Beware' in Latin. I am not the smartest guy on this planet but almost. Tip to all who read this, if you do not know anything about home building basic. You should enroll in a basic course, or at least research with books from your local library. Do not try to do fixers that require structual repair. Home Depots(big orange book)is basic. When in doubt ask a professional, better yet ask 2 pro's opinion. It will save you lots of money and stress. I have renovated many homes, up and down the Eastern and Southern Panhandle. As a contractor who has 63(stick built)residential homes and several commercial projects under my belt. I would say am knowledgeable in the Buildings Trade. You got to enjoy renovating(if you don't brag on yourself, no one else will.)If your only doing this for extra income or think your going get rich overnight but hate getting dirty. I would say your in for a surprise when you hire a repairman. Install/relocate wall switch for example: Owner=$11.18 average with traveler. Electrician=$207.00 with traveler. How many repairman can you afford to have positive cash flow? Caution to Investors...Watch! Countrywide Bank as they are tricky, remember Caveat emptor. My 2nd pro opinion saved me over $70K. They would not reveal correct information to me when I asked. Sidewalker phase was popped up to me, 'your probably not aware of recent state law changes...' Watch-em' fellows, and remember always when in doubt. Think! Outside the box...
