That’s how they make money.You need a good reputable real estate lawyer to see you through this. 

If there’s no response, consulting with a real estate attorney would be wise to determine how to terminate the agreement and recover unpaid rent.Once they’re ready to switch PMs, I can recommend some reputable property managers here in Indianapolis who are responsive and trustworthy.

@Martti Eckert how do you plan to find reputable contractors that won't take advantage of you when they find out you're OOS?

Heirloom Properties has a good reputation with the people I know.

Sorry, I can see offering a discount for a limited time only, after which the price goes up to whatever the full cost is, but NO reputable seller/instructor is going to literally only give you a total of 10 minutes to make your decision.Sixth, depending on the market you are in, and the specific deals you find, $10,000 could be a ridiculously small finder's fee.

They see foreigners as one-off buyers so they're not too much concerned about building a relationship or their reputation in the eyes of somebody who doesn't live there for that matter.

To paraphrase Warren Buffet “it takes a lifetime to build your reputation and only a moment to destroy it”

Can anyone point me to reputable lenders to start with?

When I shop for new vendors, I pick who I like the most and has the best reputation, not who bids the cheapest.

Please, if anyone has the name(s) of a reputable Detroit management company, please share.
