I have just figured out how opendoor works. I used them in the past and was pleased with them. They gave me a good offer but then I realized that they were chipping away at the offer with work that had to be done and I had to use their contractors so they just deducted that from the offer amount. It would have cost me much less if I had done the work on my own or hired other to do it, but I was in a crunch and had to go with them. I decided to use them again since I was receiving numerous advertisement in the mail from them. I figured that since my house was only five years old and had need for very little work to improve it, they gave me a fair offer so I was going to pursue it. I scheduled the video conference with them, but I then uploaded videos of my house. It was ten minutes before I was to have the video conference with them that they called me and told me they no longer buy homes in Gated Communities that don't have a guard. My guess is that when they saw the video of my house they realized they would not make all the extra money from the purchase because there was very little work that they would have to do in the house and would not make as much money. I could be wrong but that's my guess. They knew from the very beginning that I lived in a Gated Community. Be cautious when dealing with them.
