Is a major lack of DD a red flag?
We are under contract for a motel/rv park that is a value add site. Seller has not been able to provide any due diligence including contracts with long term rv tenants, proof of income in any way, proof of any expenses and now proof of insurance. Is this lack of available information normal? Should it be a red flag for any reason? TY for the feedback!

I've run into sellers who have almost no paperwork. I don't automatically run from the deal. A lack of organization and accounting doesn't mean its a bad deal, it just means you have to be sure you can make the property do what you need it to do. My experience with this type of owner is actually pretty good. A lack of records usually means a discount in price!
Can you talk to the tenants? They may be able to answer your questions (somewhat)!
