Hey Steven, Great question, and it’s smart that you’re thinking ahead about protecting your investment.

I’d like to be at least under contract by end of 2025, if not purchased.

The more issues you can take off their plate before you lock it up under contract the better you'll be.

I am not seeing any smart smoke detectors on the market that can detect weed smoke (freshair only takes large orders for 40 or more) .

There are a lot of smart and innovative investors etc on this forum

And in that case, you would still need to sue but then you can only sue for the unpaid balance of the agreement and you will have to attempt to locate the debtor.I would make sure you have a clause in the contract that states that if they don't make the repayments as per the agreement, that attorney's fees, late fees, interest and some other penalties are payable.

It will also allow you to meet various vendors and contracts that you'll need throughout your journey.  

It does not take that many hours to look at a property, sign a contract or even manage tenants.If you are bored in your 9-5 it's time to move on to a job where you learn and get challenged so you can grow.

They were super slow, had literally no idea how to read a basic purchase agreement contract, messed up on most of the paperwork, and ultimately were going to cause us to close 2-3 weeks late, with a lot of extra fees and less LTV than originally promised.

@Robert Quiroz I think all of the factors you have listed might contribute.So I’m not going to comment on that but I am going to comment on an assumption you made.If 85% of rents are below market on deals you underwrite then those contract rents are probably THE market rent.You can’t just go based upon area median income to rent ratio.First off urban areas are oftentimes street by street, block by block.
