We've helped a lot of our members trouble shoot and make minor tweaks to their properties to improve the performance.

In this situation, your best bet is to hire a PMC to take it as-is, in a current situation and rid yourself of the emotional headache.

Best bet is to go talk with some local banks and commercial lenders bc most likely that's not gonna fly on any kind of conventional loan.

I think this stuff needs to be redesigned or pulled from the market if this is how it is (not) performing.

I'll bet it is a leaky toilet flapper valve or something. 

But here are some really interesting numbers...Ok so this one doesn't look too bad but notice how much more the townhouses and condos dropped in prices over the last downturn.2007 peak to now isn't so good...Before the 2007 run up to now is better, but even then, apartment condos performed the worse (so best case scenario, you have the worse performing asset type, worse case scenario you had a terrible return), and that's assuming you had nothing go wrong with the condo (special assessment etc)But benchmarks don't even tell the whole story, because if you had a specific condo investment, and you tracked it's value overtime, benchmark prices isn't the right approach as it evolves overtime (benchmark price is the price of a typical property generated at each point in time).

You can suggest performing background checks, credit assessments, or offering a higher down payment to mitigate risk.### 6.

I would also have a pre and post plumbing test performed.

I bet you do very well with it..

Your best bet is to go direct to seller.
