A well written management contract should clearly spell out what is expected of both the PMC and the owner, to PROTECT both and avoid misunderstandings.

A key factor to a C4D seller is how there asset is being protected, so they have assurances that value remains regardless of your performance. 

I've done these deals and we have been able to renegotiate price and terms late in the deal, all while my client's EMD is fully protected either based on an inspection period or based on lack of disclosure.

I know there is a new tenant protection law but the waiting time is extremely unfair to landlord.

Since around 1993 or so, I've always bought investment properties inside an LLC, for the asset protection they're "supposed" to provide.

For one, they typically will not lower the contract price, they need to protect their comps, so the credit has to be used for closing costs, rate buy downs and "upgrades."

The only benefit you'd get from a fideicomiso is asset protection so you have to decide if it's worth the cost.
