BP Has a list also of recommended DSCR lenders!

Renting, like hiring an employee, taking on a business partner or client and marring (even more so), are relationships that can be costly if made hastily or imprudently.Like others, I have check lists that I do not deviate from. 

There are cheaper one’s in D/F areas but I would be careful as those can create a laundry list of additional issues.

Here are some coming on BP: https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/521-real-estate-events-...We have a list of a lot more investor meetups that I will happily share with you. 

For example, if the property you are buying is a development property, like a small house with a large lot in a developing area, then a small negative cash flow could be okay if you can carry it.

OK so your contention then is your mutual release and return of EM was sent by your agent to the listing agent and the listing agent is refusing to forward the release to the seller..

You will want to consult with a lawyer.In regards to your last two questions here's some background on what makes a contract valid and enforceable:Offer: A promise to do or not do something within a certain time period Acceptance: A clear and direct statement that all terms and responsibilities are accepted Consideration: A legal and adequate inducement given in exchange for the promise Capacity: The parties to the contract must have the legal capacity and competency to contract Awareness: A party must be aware of the contract Legality: The contract must be legal in the jurisdiction it will be operating in***Not legal advice*** Steps I would take: -Review contract in detail to understand each counterparties responsibilities (if you are not aware)- Email a copy of the lease to each of the tenants listed on the lease and reiterate lease expectations for termination notice, rent payment etc. - If the lease was signed via Docusign (other esign may have same ability) - you can go to the envelope, go to history and view the IP addresses for each action taken.

Since I didn't have my own listings, I offered to other agent's to sit their open house.

Turns out the developer didn't fix some underground pipe and it took years and lots of $$ for lawyer's fees to get things fixed. 

The findings are particularly interesting for those focused on the Columbus, Ohio market, which topped the list for both two-bedroom and three-bedroom rental searches.The report also notes a shift towards more apartment searches, influenced by the scarcity of single-family homes and rising interest rates.
