I got a pre-approval and sent in 7k as a due diligence deposit (before I learned to NEVER do that).

I can tell you the last person I evicted was shocked, and was having to live with friends because no one would rent to them... not even a mobile home... and they had a family of 4 with a dog.  

You cannot convince me that a PM that somehow "tricks" a client into approving a 100-hour lightbulb swap for $1,000 is completely immune.

Let them know they might get more money by listing with you and selling to a third party, however, the seller should consider the contingencies that enter into it, for example, inspections, appraisals, mortgage approval, etc.  

Particularly around the Springfield Town Center, where 2 million square feet of commercial space and thousands of residential units are in the works by property owner Pennsylvania Real Estate Investment Trust (PREIT), to be delivered by 2026.Below I will go into the reasons why Springfield Virginia real estate market has strong potential for future growth in the coming yearsSpringfield Town Center is Approved to add 2 million Square Feet of Commercial Space and Thousands of Residential Units, Coming in 2026Although many malls suffered greatly during COVID-19, certain malls have begun to make a comeback, such as the Springfield Town Center, which not only is at pre-pandemic levels of visitors and retail vacancy of 4%, but the average time of visit has increased for the mall.

The ADU in comparison has poor financing, costs more than the value added, has capital outlay many months before any income, takes longer than brrrr due to all the approvals/permits required to add an ADU. 

Knowledge wealth building investors can do wonders with the ability to sell “subject to” with approval for such stated in the deed of trust or mortgage instrument.  

First, they required me to use their hard money lender and to get pre-approved with them before they would send me their properties. lol.

I have had their inspectors ask for things not in the approved plans, but I also have had them not raise concerns about work that maybe should have been on a permit.  

Are there any PMLs who will pre-qualify you so that you can pull the trigger (with their approval) ASAP?
