There is an upsell; but, they don't put too much pressure on you. 

This low inventory will continue to pressure up rents.The sales market remains hot.Sales - Months of SupplyThere are about 1.5 months of supply for our target property profile.

We've already seen in the response from @Dewayne C. that the sales people pushed this hard ignoring facts about accreditation, pushing investing from retirement accounts and likely not disclosing necessary information or using high pressure sales tactics, which would also be inappropriate. 

Originally posted by @John Nachtigall: It pre-assumes that people don't have the discipline to pay extra into their mortgage (with say a 15 year fixed), so they force it by putting you in debt (the initial $15,000 lump) and then assume the pressure of the debt will force you to pay it back over the year. 

My straight forward thinking is, when water is turned on (slowly) I’ll pressurize all plumbing then open and clear out faucets, etc.

I am not confident that the deportation of illegals will help with the pressures of declining rents or reducing inventory.

The con is it is putting upward pressure on the cost of service.

I’m no Henry Ford, but I see an imminent convergence of regulatory pressure, existing tech, and the GenAI to bring all the existing tech together to make the full-service brokerage offering much cheaper and faster.To carry the automotive analogy further, there will still be horses and still be Lamborghinis, but most residential transactions will be vastly faster, cheaper, and more standardized in 10 years than today.The part you’re missing is that most buyers and sellers desire consultation with an expert and are willing to pay for it, because they see the value.

Question is how can I apply pressure on the syndicator to update status and return my funds?

It monitors boiler pressure, temp outside and in each unit, if the system is off or on, and can work to monitor each zone(with some addition to initial setup).
