It is allows sourcing deals from anywhere (not just the deals from the party that runs it and who is trying to channel investors into it), and allows people to perform real, collaborative due diligence to poke holes in deals (and isn't just a "rah-rah let's go" for preselected deals), etc.It sounds like you're looking at the first type of group.

Because it really should be called Vacancy/Tenant nonPerformance+Damages.In ANY market, if you target the cheapest prices you will get the WORST: Neighborhoods, properties & tenants.Doesn't matter how smart you think you are or how hard you work, you will NOT get Class A performance from Class D!

Some of them performing and others non performing at a deep discount. 

Since it sounds like your job is flexible and you can work remotely, explore the option of staying here for several weeks to perform your due diligence. 

Of course, the wear and tear was through the roof and the water heater or HVAC never seemed to perform to his liking when it is summer and you have 14 breathing, walking talking 98.6F meat-sicles in the house warming it up.  

Can you quickly see performance data or a single property, region, or total portfolio?

But you can still optimize portfolio performance while still reducing risk.  

@Varun Hegde - This is a good topic.Often a title policy is issued to "XYZ Entity or Individual(s) and/or it's assigns" – however unless the title company handling my closing can perform a date down from when the existing title policy is ordered and issue an update in my name, I purchase a new policy at closing and factor the cost into my offer price. 

I prefer someone holding the CRE designation to perform the study, although MAI designees are usually also qualified.  

I bought 4 new constructions in brandon and pearl and while they performed fine .. they never really went up in value over 14 years of owning them..
