“Every deal is different. I can hand them a sheet of paper, but it probably doesn't encompass everything that they want.” – Casey Mericle
“You got to make sure your title work is ready, and that you know that other than the mortgage getting foreclosed on, that it's free and clear. And if any of you really want to do that, don't buy anything above about 60% of fair market value, because you're going to get, you're going to have problems.” – Casey Mericle
