Vaishal Patel If it sounds to good to be true, it probably is! I've been doing this for 25+ years, and have never seen a deal with that much profit for so little work.

You always need to ask yourself, is the property being 'valued' at that by someone, even if it's an appraiser, or did it SELL for that much?
