So I see that, right? And then all of a sudden I\'ll see something like, man, I\'m sensing this person is not really sure what they\'re doing, bang, they send me over numbers like, hey, this house needs 30,000 in repairs to break it worth $350,000 or $400,000. And I\'m going, no, without even batting an eye, it\'s a $100,000 repair budget. And I just know that." - Ian Walsh\\nResources:\\nIan Walsh\'s email:\\xa0IAN@hardmoneybankers.com\\nHard Money Bankers website:\\xa0hardmoneybankers.com'
