I pulled out of a deal there recently because there was a pretty substantial discrepancy on the num of units lol  

I never got a good answer from them about the discrepancy other then "thats the rates we pay for this area", which is even more perplexing because I have 2 properties under the program at that HUD office and they pay more then what was on the sheet they gave me and more in line with what is on the HUD website.

In the future maybe make sure a tenant is present with any contractor so as to avoid any discrepancies.

As far as the leads go, did you call the company who supplied you the leads to ask about the inaccurate names discrepancy?

I bet the amount will be higher...then again who knows but at least I can cut out ANY discrepencies!

Pete, you're correct regarding the price discrepancy between neighborhoods.

Also, if there is a big discrepancy in rents, in many cases a rent gap coverage can be offered.

My general philosophy is that there is not a wide discrepancy in expected returns between different markets.

I do my research and know the landlord tenant laws very well in all states and localities where I've owned rentals, which is why I know tenants in MD can sue landlords for 3X amount in discrepancy and that a landlord can't just say a security deposit is forfeit but must provide timely notification of itemized actual damages, plus they have much stricter lead rules, required rental inspections/inspection fees, etc... 

Look out for any discrepancies and red flags.
