Many syndicators posting here have never delivered a single profitable exit to any investor in their "deals."

Also happens with home builders that get behind on delivering houses to homebuyers who may have already sold their previous home. 

As a result the contract outlining the agreement is (1) full off contingencies allowing buyers numerous opportunity to “back out” of an agreed to transaction and (2) supported by a relatively small (sometimes VERY small) amount of “earnest money” which is usually refundable given the contract contingencies previously alluded to.The result is (1) a large number of contracts “falling out” prior to closing, (2) a relatively long “due diligence” period of time between initial contact agreement and closing, (3) renegotiation (or attempted renegotiation) of price and terms by the buyer And, or (4) utilization of the contract as an “option” by some “buyers” who have no intention to complete the purchase UNLESS they are able to find someone to pay a higher price.Interestingly, in some countries, such as Argentina, for example, due diligence is performed BEFORE a contract is negotiated.  40% - 50% of the purchase price is due at signing of the initial contract (what we refer to as earnest money); it’s only refundable IF the seller is unable to deliver clear title, and closings happen as quickly as the buyer can come up with the additional funds.  

Many OOS investors set themselves up for failure because they don't invest the time to ACTUALLY understand:1) The Class of the NEIGHBORHOOD they are buying in - which is relative to the overall area.2) The Class of the PROPERTY they are buying - which is relative to the overall area.3) The Class of the TENANT POOL the Neighborhood & Property will attract - which is relative to the overall area.4) The Class of the CONTRACTORS that will work on their Property, given the Neighborhood location - which is relative to the overall area.5) The Class of the PROPERTY MANAGEMENT COMPANIES (PMC) that will manage their Property, given the Neighborhood location and the Tenants it will attract - which is relative to the overall area.6) That a Class X NEIGHBORHOOD will have mostly Class X PROPERTIES, which will only attract Class X TENANTS, CONTRACTORS AND PMCs and deliver Class X RESULTS.7) That OOS property Class rankings are often different than the Class ranking of the local market they live.Class A is relatively easy to manage, can even be DIY remote managed from another state.
