gothca I kind of figured you might have had some inside legal help.. these guys many times get away with this as the investments are so small its not financially feasible to litigate them.

While you are figuring it out and/or deploying it over time, US Treasuries and certain CDs are paying 5%...and 4% for certain online savings accounts.

I compile the list of only properties that can gross six figures plus and with prices under $800k.

My focus is on uncovering properties priced under $800K with the potential to gross six figures annually.

I was a terrible negotiator, but I figured, anything under or at asking would be sufficient.

I offer an online payment portal to submit rent payments via ACH or CC - they "couldn't figure out how to use it" so I set us up to accept Zelle payments.

This figure is for C class properties.  

I was a terrible negotiator, but I figured, anything under or at asking would be sufficient.

Again, interviewing multiple is a great way to figure out who would work best for you and what you're trying to achieve. 

I was able to figure out that they had come upon some hard times and were significantly low on cash.
