The area is small but is right outside of Bowling Green (the third largest metro in KY-60 miles N of Nashville) and there is residential construction going on in the area that appears to be selling around $225k on average for a standard 3/2 home.

The property is back on the market.I understand their(both agents) sentiments and your thoughts about submitting another offer did cross my mind.  

Cross-checking different information for inconsistency is a critical step.

@Nicolette YorkRecommend exploring as many sources as possible to get referrals AND cross-reference them to get as much accurate information as possible.Check out NARPM.com, BP’s Property Manager Finder (BiggerPockets: The Real Estate Investing Social Network), etc.Also, encourage you to learn from the mistakes of others - by reading posts here on BiggerPockets about owners not having their expectations met by their current Property Management Company.

This is the norm for most of the Green Mountains region. 

Arrived was established in 2020 and is way too green for me to even consider.

Which they dropped after I said i would settle if they dropped the cross claim.

I'd strongly encourage you to make it easy to be found and cross-referenced across the social media platforms you use.

Similar green energy investments could be considered if you can make the numbers work (credits on some types of low income housing can be north of 50%).Depending on how long these properties have been held, they could consider implementing cost segregation studies via a change in accounting method to accelerate some depreciation.The operating proceeds could be re-deployed into new properties where cost segregation is an option to accelerate depreciation to offset proceeds.If the properties are low basis and we are not maximizing the 199A deduction, maybe considering an S-Corp structure for management to be able to participate in retirement plans and also generate wages to use as a 199A base. 

Without the SSN the ability of the CRA (consumer reporting agency) to cross reference information is hindered.
