Yes, I know they’re scummy as fuck. Yes I know they’re gonna turn it into yet another overpriced rental. But I’m mostly asking if they’re otherwise legit.
I get those offers all the time and typically shitcan them immediately. The most recent offer I got is for twice what I paid for the place, and honestly, it’s enough to be my ticket out of this backwards-ass shithole state. Otherwise, barring a surprise lottery windfall, I’m stuck here for the foreseeable future.
Assuming all is above board, the main concern I have is if it’s worth that much to them, wouldn’t it be worth that much to me? FWIW, I like my house and my neighborhood, but it sadly exists within a shithole of a redneck state where I’ve been disenfranchised all my life, and I want the fuck out of here.
Edit: Thanks everyone. I knew they were scammy/scummy but several of the replies cleared up how they operate, and it’s scammier than even I was thinking. Back to buying my weekly lottery ticket and hoping for the best. 🤞
Yeah, that’s why I walked away from every car dealer who was a weirdo manipulative twat, and I bought my car from the sales person who was honest and didn’t try to sell me upgrades and sold me the car for the quoted price. They exist.
I walked out of 6 different dealerships before I found an honest salesperson. And they got my business.
Just like I don’t buy shit from pawn shops or other shady businesses.
I don’t disagree with any of your points, and I feel the same way about sales tactics, but I still think straight up robbery is much worse and it’s own category.
