Is this a red flag?

The June meetup for this week (6/4) was suddenly canceled and the associated FB group has been paused. Anybody know what's going on?

It was about 20 feet down in the front yard, so that's  a pretty deep trench and someone had to go down there and clean out 3 weeks of tenant solids before they were able to replace it with PVC.

No one has ever balked at undergoing a background check and, if they did, that would be a red flag for me and I'd just move along.

Its also a bit of a red flag if they tell you they need a week or so to come up with the $500. 

Again, if you have deep pockets you can just buy a portfolio. 

Class A property RentReadys rarely exceed ne month of rent, many only need a deep clean.Class B RentReady usually requires about one month of rent in prep.Class C is a crapshoot.

Track record…I like that they’ve been in business for a while, but I’m not as comfortable with their history in industrial (maybe I didn’t dig deep enough).

I used my own construction and real estate experience to get them through the governmental red tape and turn them into profitable rentals.I’m a third generation builder with an accounting degree with bullet proof spirit.

I don't have answers for all your questions but my opinion will be as long as you disclose to the sellers and they understand that they are selling their asset in a deep discount ( in your case $18500 vs $60K value) you are fine.
