If the answer is performance-related, or due to the agent simply not being a good fit, then that is understandable and they might let you go if you explain your legitimate reason honestly and ask to be released from the contract nicely.

Sometimes these insurance contracts come in legal sized paper- possibly a harbinger of what you'll need to do to collect fairly from them, But always expect them to perform completely on the things which are in their financial favor.

Usually partners, capital partners want to see prior performance before being a debt or equity partner. 

I bought a non performing note, the borrower sold the property sub-2 where the new buyer reinstated the loan but because of the transfer I am calling the due on sale clause.

Mostly I'm just trying to keep track of things for my own purposes to make sure I'm getting what I expect and the properties are performing the way I expect. 

We try to make sure the seller knows within 10-15 days max if we can perform or not, so they always can have another option.

You need to know the market well, have enough reserves for inevitable expenses, and closely monitor the asset’s performance.

I’m always asking how much a project costs when I hear folks talking about doing renovations, and I ask how their contractor performed.  

I work in Denver (as well as Colorado Springs), and that city is performing very much like Ausitn.

I recommend focusing on getting a great investment property and disregarding Section 8 in that pursuit because any property can be a Section 8 property, but a lousy investment is lousy regardless of having a Section 8 tenant or not.Section 8 will perform a basic functional and safety inspection for your units after you have an agreement with a Section 8 tenant and your local housing authority.
