I agree with the other comment, you unfortunately do not get that money back even if the seller was not upfront on an issue. 

Investment Criteria:• “Core” strategy – High-quality properties with minimal renovations or maintenance issues• Stable tenants & cash flow – Long-term leases, steady occupancy• Commercial preference (?)

100% of the deals I've done with Safeguard have had late payments and/or major issues. 

However, there is a specific deal Which I find hard to understand the ARV for.It is a Single Family Home, 2 Bedroom 1 Bathroom, 850 SQFT.These two comps have a price gap I find hard to understand, even when considering the difference in renovation level.If anyone knows this market well enough to understand the cause of this difference, and if it might be due to an issue with the location, or if there is anything I am missing.Comp 1 - 1011 Elm Street, Burlington, NC, 27217 (120K)Comp 2 - 1109 Walnut Street, Burlington, NC, 27217 (120K)Comp 3 - 1505 N Park Ave, Burlington, NC, 27217 (180K)Thank you!

I could probably rent the house as-is but I would hate for it to be an issue if there was ever a fire or something drastic.

These I have found are real, striving parents, working their butts off to provide the best housing and school system for their children.My ethos in this approach is exactly why we at LaPlante refer to them as Residents, as we consider "Tenant and Landlord" to be dated terms and rife with negative emotion.

There are guidelines and guardrails, but a challenging deal can have positives and a golden deal can have issues below the surface.

(Property Meld for one)--- Owners often think a PMC can just enter a tenant's home to make repairs, but don't really understand the potential legal issues of entering when a tenant is not home.--- Owners don't understand the percentage of maintenance appointments tenants miss!

This matters as different auctions are prone to different title issues.

Closed with no issues, inherited great tenants and have really enjoyed living in this neighborhood Lessons learned?
