Some obvious things are of course obvious enough even for me to see without having a giant red sign with blinking lights on it.

Being REQUIRED to pay all cash is a red flag.4. 

Or the "Feel the Burn" stickers you see proudly displayed on many Portland bumpers, you resent people who buy rentals instead of Red Bulls.

However, IF this is legit, it's most likely red flagged due to the origin of the funds and/or the issue with the German non profit (more specifically, what organizations that NP is associated with).Also, just my humble opinion, but if you don't already have history with this investor, and they contacted you, it most certainly is bogus.  

BTW the red tape at DPP now right now is horrendous.

Many new investors might want to find an older property that has ‘good bones’ but has red shag carpet and wallpaper.

He stopped by my project because it was all red clay that day as the grading/sod work just had been completed.   

Now, if the property is OK as-is and inspections didn't turn up any red flags, then I'd say this looks like a decent deal.

I'm using the typical general equation: ARV x .70 -  repair costs = purchase price.I understand the markets are super red hot now however.
