Quote from @Jonathan Greene: Quote from @James Hamling: Thing is @Jonathan Greene, your message, as true as it may be, comes across to a whole generation like that of the person giving away apples and tooth brushes for Halloween..... 

.- Valuation, the valuation is all over the place man, an apple that's worthed $1K in 2021 now is only valued $200, there's something really wrong in the valuation of these industry, specially when they're leveraged.I've seen the last part when banks is doing LBO as well, they are like valuing company 10x from their own cash flow and use investor money to create "non sense" value, or just for the sake of heavy commision.

Most of the people of Mexico are so friendly, and of course every country has its bad apples.

That being said, here’s what I would recommend for a thorough DD process:-Build a plan in advance (setup a spreadsheet, meet with the team, etc)-be prepared to take a lot of pictures -document notes with each room (we use notes on Apple and share it with the team)-align the team on standardizing information (example: what does “bad” mean, what does “okay” mean, etc - everyone looks at things differently and you want to make sure the notes are accurate during your debrief)-bring in professionals for things you can see, like sewer lines hope this short list helps! 

However, the specific comps can vary and its hard to make it a perfect apples to apples comparison. 

I wonder what I'd be able to do with 3-6 months then.It's sort of like comparing apples to oranges then I'd assume?

They say this can take 30 days, yet I see complaints on BBB and the App Store for Google and Apple where people have not gotten their money back yet even after several months.I have contacted my bank and they said you have 60 days to file a dispute from the date of your DEPOSIT not the time you request the transfer back into your bank. 

Ask them to explain how you're supposed to have a warranty w/o them giving you the receipt.3) Labor Charges: should be defined in your PM contract OR they should present a bid for your approval with labor & materials.Now a couple of thoughts in the PMC's defense:1) If you didn't get a receipt, how did you match the exact same model at Lowe's, so the price of $530 is apples-to-apples?

Granted that's apples and oranges, because the new homes are larger and all in the suburbs, but as long as you can buy an existing home for half the price per square foot than a new construction home I would be careful with expecting peak appreciation.

So you're not really comparing apples to apples here.Also, most likely the syndication/crowdfunding deal you are comparing to is a completely different real-estate asset class than single family (i.e. probably multi-family,office, self storage,mobile home parks or something else).
