Hmm on the surface this is a “0.64% rule deal” is that good for Columbus?

@Clay Boykin Thank you for helping me,  I have gone over and over the numbers (non stop calculating over the past 2 months) so I really think I must be calculating something at the wrong amount. 

And it was a great start to a relationship that is still alive years later.On the other hand: I had a licensed broker recommended by an investor friend in Indianapolis, flew out there to look at the market and meet him, partnered with a local to me friend who had done local flips (that was my first flip, but I was no REI novice) and has an advanced accounting degree, also had the friend vet the broker and each property he brought to our consideration for a flip, finally agreed on a specific property after months of turning down others, signed a very specific (our attorney-drawn) contract that outlined project management responsibilities by the broker, kept in touch through the (delayed) process (and numerous excuses that - at that time - did not seem unreasonable,) flew out there again when the rehab was completed (and found a bunch of issues “on the surface” that he quickly addressed,) only to eventually lose a lot of money through the broker’s apparent negligence and downright fraud...

Please let me know how you guys are dealing with thisHi Rakesh.I see this same topic surface occasionally here on BP.Nope, 1% is not dead.

A population trend that looks bad on surface, could be a fantastic thing. 

An offer of $355k (or even $340k) on a $370k listing that has been sitting on the market for four months is not unreasonable on the surface. 

Like in Jackson MS with their yazoo clay that clay can make a house move 6 inches if drainage is not done properly around the house etc.

We are exploring this option because of expansive clay issues.
