hey guys, I've been talking to a potential PM for my townhouse and he sent me his PM agreement for review.
There are a few things in the agreement I didn't like, but I'm not sure if these are common practice or true ...

If 4 syndicators offer 10% and another is offering 15-20% then a red flag should go up and ask “why is this one better” if the operator says it’s because their secret sauce I would laugh. 2.

However, employer profit-sharing contributions (up to 25% of W-2 wages) are not subject to FICA taxes and do not appear on the W-2.To stay IRS-compliant, ensure your Form W-2 and Form 941 properly reflect deferrals, and maintain a reasonable salary to avoid red flags.

Those returns will give you some insight into the integrity of the Syndicator, as well as raise red flags of a possible Ponzi scheme taking place with your money.Let’s look at the balance sheet again on the IRS Form 1065.

For those looking to use the Plastiq + Credit Lines for a down payment/closing costs you need to consider the following:Most banks will normally require seasoning of funds so if you use Plastiq to perform a wire transfer to your bank account (or that of the Title company) it may throw up red flags.

If so the carrier has the right to deny any/all claims you make or if they want to be nice they will settle the claim and retro charge you the premium you would have owed having the proper policy in place when you started renting it out.Talk to a legit local agent and tell them what is going on and get them to run down all the exposures you have and what you could do to best protect yourself for the best possible premium.

That should be a major read flag that other LP accredited investors are passing and the syndicator is having to work hard with non-accredited investors to complete the raise.   

You don't know all of the people living there so that's a big red flag as well.

Too many flags.

We've only had one resident fail to pay rent, and it was someone who had all the usual red flags, but she also had a sick kid.
