I spoke to many local banks, and the most sophisticated was Suzette Hill at Surety Bank in Daytona.

You shouldn't be paying them, THEY should be paying YOU.Any sophisticated Buyer will NOT take possession of the property with a deadbeat tenant. 

If they weren’t, they had to sign off that they were either “sophisticated investors” and give educational and/or background experience to show they were competent adults, or indicate that if they had used a professional advisor.  

IRR is a tool sophisticated investors use to measure the rate at which a real estate investment grows (or, heaven forbid, shrinks).

If not, you have to look for 506b operators that can accept sophisticated investors.  

For a particular system, based on number of items, type of distress, and condition, you will get a red, yellow, or green, or in more sophisticated software, like all different shades of these colors.  

I get that the average investor is more sophisticated, but aren’t there a lot of experiences where say the owner dies and leaves the property to kids who aren’t sophisticated?

Folks who have scaled stuff up always need bird dogs because it's the least sophisticated thing for an investor to do with their time, and yet, one can't hire a foreign personal assistant to actually drive around and research stuff. 

It also requires gaining a level of sophistication and knowledge that not everyone has the time, inclination or ability to do.

In commercial or large sophisticated projects exclusions and extras are a common method of getting the best pricing.
