But I need to get into another deal, and the future looks promising.

2: Are you getting the promised return?

Needless to say, I immediately called my lawyer and sent her all of the documentation and statements he had made to me, and all of his promises and instances where he pushed back the owed money.

IMHO, treating your investors right and keeping your promises is the best way to avoid problems with an investor but it's a good feeling to know we're well covered in case things go bad.

I lived in AZ for a number of years and know that market very well, and its market is also promising, especially in the location i am looking at.

I can understand conservative; maybe they want to be perceived as the guy/gal who want to under promise and over deliver. 

If rentals, I would come a little further into Frederick where there is much more economic stability, better tenants and a promising growth. 

With that being said, I want to make sure I get paid all what I'm owed at closing as promised.

Short of wearing a fake ring and attending assertiveness training, I am not sure how to handle these kinds of situations. 

This is my first deal review request, so please forgive any mistakes or dumb things you're about to see.I'm a SFR investor, but multi looks promising.
