| What I am saying is that in almost every instance, the house soldvery
close to the same price I told them it would sell for......only it took
six months longer because their agent was being unrealistic in their
pricing just to get the listing.

What the hell is that supposed to mean? The investors I work with have
been doing it for 20+ years, not some person who has been watching too
much TLC and HGTV. Investors/remodelers are important to the real
estate market because they help regenerate neighborhoods and add much
more value to properties than the average person can. I know in some
markets (Cali) people are doing bottom-of-the-line work and "flipping
(I hate that word)" houses to pocket big chunks of cash. But the guys
I work with are true BUILDERS with years of experience that add quality
work and value to properties. Yes they make money doing it, but not
what you would think. $25,000 average per transaction.
Why are you so high and mighty? Geez.....
