@Anish KoshyThere is a lot of information out there on how to do your proper due diligence on a syndication, including the sponsor.

I grew up in the industry and still have a hard time with holding contractors accountable.thx Adam - We agreed from the start that we would pay the $500 a month as they sounded great in an interview , go to town council meetings on our behalf , and do some in house work like put up blinds  and minor repairs that is included in that fee.

I think most of those are included within the high influx of newbies that roll through who are not serious.

You are going to pay much more for any type of work done (not including all the headaches associated with it) so in my opinion it's better to buy something that's already turnkey. 

Not including septic of course because that;s an easier run.I would do a sewer scope even if just to know if/where there were branch lines or moderate blockages.....or even the bellies.

Important things to check include opening and closing every cabinet, looking under sinks, pushing on doors and cabinets, and checking commonly used areas.

My offer did include an inspection contingency which I would not be willing to remove, but they didnt seem to have an issue with that specifically. 

.- If the syndicator actually sues this member, we will make the litigation a headline issue in every major BiggerPockets content channel, including YouTube, Blog, Podcast, and these forums.

A lot of OR users on here, including me, and we dont have this problem

There are drops in other areas including big cities and rural areas and areas that are losing population.
