Post: Have YOU been scammed, would like to hear your story.

Hi all - I have recently been more active at reading forum posts, and I have seen SO many posts about scams.
I have a friend who is currently writing a book aimed at increasing awareness on various real estate scams. If you have been (or know someone) who has been scammed, I would love to learn more about that experience if you/they are willing to share it!
Please send me a message here or shoot me an email.
My sincere hope is that someday we can all raise enough awareness, have the right protections in place, that the vast majority of this stuff goes away.
If you have not been scammed, I hope you never ever are! Keep building these relationships with other like minded individuals, and if something sounds too good to be true, it probably is - run it by people you trust!

If you were starting a new STR or MTR, what are some things you can do to cut down on future maintenance? I'm looking for durable furniture, linens, construction materials, things like that.
I have and STR and an MTR and the maintenance things just keep piling up: LVP cracking, paint chipping/peeling/bubbling, walls constantly getting marked up, dining chair bolts coming loose, stains on every piece of cloth and furniture.
I agree with starting with durable construction, durable furnishings, etc. Saving money/cutting costs on those things will require much more wear/tear/maintenance/replacement, and cost so much more in the long run.

Hey Jamie, I've been doing the same thing and now I'm aiming to be more active here too. Big props to you for stepping out of your comfort zone and diving into this. If you ever need anything or have questions, feel free to reach out. Wishing you a safe and fruitful remainder of the year. Take care!
Thanks Alfonso, same goes to you! Happy to be a sounding board, brain stormer, etc if you need one as well!

Welcome! At first glance I thought your name was Jayne Mansfield!
JD Martin, if I had a dollar for every time I was asked "any relation", I would have so many properties I wouldn't know what to do with them all.

Hi everyone, I have been stalking the BP forums for several years now, both under this profile and an old one I had. Thought it would be nice to start participating in the forums and connecting with others, so here we go!
I am in the Tacoma WA and Portland OR areas.
Welcome back to BP. Happy to assist in anyway.
Thank you Chris, looks like you are pretty active here - I appreciate the connection :)
