@Yashar Fred most of the items a housing authority identifies as deficient should be remediated anyway.  

We found the Finsbury Drive deal through our partner, Glenn Klingensmith, who identified the opportunity and brought it directly to us.

I advise working together to identify and agree on potential issues.

We found the Tip Top Road deal through our partner, Seth Choate, who identified the opportunity and brought it directly to us.

I'm doing some research now to identify potential areas to keep an eye on and possibly connect with an investor-oriented local agent in each of the areas we're considering.  

Your realtor can help identify these properties.3.Temporary Alternatives:While waiting for a new build, you might consider investing in a property that can generate rental income immediately.

You should just identify your methods. 

After the fact, you identified red flags and now understand why someone promoting on BP is no different than someone posting on other social media pages...it shouldn't automatically lend credibility to the company simply because they pay to promote themselves on BP.

I'm planning to pay cash so the markets I've identified are ones with lower price points that allow this based on the cash I have.

I would hope Norada has identified some decent PM firms, as their reputation also depends on it.
