Take quality photos and market the property anywhere you possibly can. 

If this was a standard contract in PA, seems like the Seller is in default of the contract on many levels.

For now, there's nothing wrong with doing your homework but focus more of your time and energy on finding a quality property to purchase.

@Hector Espinosa Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a Class A property in Class D area, what quality of tenant will you get?

not picking on your post in particular, but I'm observing a downtrend in quality on BP of late. 

The fact that you've raised over $170 million and have passive investments in $1.6 billion of assets speaks volumes about the quality of your team and your approach to real estate.If you’re looking to finance future acquisitions, I'd be happy to get you some very competitive bids on financing...I'd love to learn more about your investment philosophy and how you approach large multifamily projects.

Or try the reverse - rehab a property to Class A standards in a Class D neighborhood and try to get a Class A or B tenant to rent it.Unfortunately, many newbie real estate investors are jumping into buying affordable Class C rentals - expecting Class A results.

@Seth Mattox it can be done from a distance, but I think the quality of service will be sub-par and it will take a lot of extra effort.
