Aging reports would be another avenue to explore, but again, may not even have these.Lastly, while maybe this property is in a desirable area of town with strong demand from highly qualified tenants, but I get the impression this is a rough part of town, with very limited demand from tenants.

In reality it was quite a number of other people doing it together and the person making the post only owns a small percentage and they’re really making the post in order to gain limited partners.
