It is part of the game and you have to play the game.

I call this, The Plain Vanilla Business Advantage, e.g. business number/email/website/FAQs/etc...Then, YOU play the "Property Manager" role and YOU are just and employee, NOT the greedy landlord and sole decision maker...Also, I recommend doing a little something I call "Self-Service Management" ...basically, I groom my tenants to have an ownership mentality and I provide them with the tools and resources to resolve things on their own because I'm a long-distance self-managing landlord, therefore, I have to be proactive vs reactive. 

If you're finding investors and are getting paid for the introduction and not to sell the security you'll need to play the role of matchmaker and let the sponsor sell using the issuer exemption. 

And they do not fix anything, just resell it unfixed.That said, sign, play the game, see how it comes out. 

It is a bit of a scam, but you have to play the game. 

Play the game smart, a couple of deals cancelling contracts isn't going to ruin your rep for life, I think that is silly to think.

I don't want to list properties and play the (how low can you go game?)

Time to play the devils advocate So for one of your first deals you want to take down an $8M portfolio with NO MONEY or RESERVES?

I wouldn't play the waiting game.

Now once in a while you get a tenant that knows how to play the game, another words a professional squatter ( LOSER )  So could take a little longer.
