For example, one tenant segment may see bars on the first-floor windows as essential.

Since I haven't been on BiggerPockets for quite awhile, the format has changed, and I'm having trouble figuring out where I can post a property I'm selling in OH, so interested parties are able to find it and make offers?

College kids can be tough on properties—think wear and tear from parties, late-night shenanigans, or just inexperience with basic upkeep.

The pitfalls really revolve around prohibited transactions and disqualified parties.

Usually it's not RE meet-ups, more likely it's golf clubs, private bars, coffee shops in affluent areas, ski areas, etc.

You can't sign a contract now - once both parties sign, it is executed.

I think the only two issues that I think about as I contemplate signing on are the speed with which they have been growing, and the fact that they are just now moving to being vertically integrated -- their property management and renovation teams are all in-house now -- not 3rd party like they used to be.

However, many times this is the most costly option. 3rd party or private submetering companies can help you out too and many times these will be more cost effective.

If a third party buys at foreclosure they do not get this exemption and owe the entire amount. 

There is risk that the parties won't agree to return the cash held in escrow.
