I wouldn't be surprised if you PM quickly changed his tune if you mentioned that his non-disclosure is a violation.

But the real surprise came when I noticed a damaged door on the side of the property, far away from where they were driving us.

You'd be surprised how many people, even though they'll make a bunch of money, won't take action without a little prize like that.

I'm surprised that people are responding to this thread... 

California, to my pleasant surprise passed a new law that went into effect January 1 that allows property owners to file a Letter of Agency with local law enforcement which notifies them that the property is vacant.

I do wanna do business with them but I agree with the earlier post about they don't really account for vacancies and capex so it makes it difficult to cash flow and that's why I haven't pulled a trigger with them.One other thing is I'm seeing the area has a pretty high property tax that's making it even harder to make sense of a deal.Ryan, if you have the address of the Turneky you were considering, we would love to analyze the deal today and see how it did over the past 6 years - you would be surprised  :)- 

The consensus, not surprisingly, was that we are in uncertain times but there are certain societal and market fundamentals that make residential rental property, aka SFR and BFR, extremely attractive asset classes, short-term, mid-term and long-term.

I never in a million years thought I would be living on Maui as a real estate mogul, but hey life always surprises you.

EDUCATE YOURSELF - yes, it will take time, but will lead to a selection that better meets your expectations & avoids potentially costly surprises!

You will be surprised how high they are going.
