If you have your buyer-broker agreement and it was a full-service agreement, read through it and if they didn't perform, then contact your state's real estate board to see if you can still file a complaint, as there may be a time limit.

*I understand terms such as deposit amount, contingencies and settlement period can play into the decision making of the Seller, but a syndicator who is relying on outside equity is likely performing full diligence and is not shortening their contract period materially from others in pursuit of the deal.

When we perform a service call for a repair item, it is often shocking how many risk management items that we note on the way in and out.

This includes examining the structural integrity, plumbing, electrical systems, roof condition, HVAC systems, and any other significant features.Title Search: Hire a title company or attorney to perform a title search on the property.

@Allen Parker Stock market is passive income and you can't as an individual influence the value.

Depending on what they say would influence the next steps.....also send a letter/email something in writing to the PM detailing the lack of response and the contract you have with them.

If so, how have they performed? 

TONS of SFR listings in the Troost corridor heading up to the river and then curving East along independence Ave.But they present many challenges; vacancies  (due to below C market tenant pool), increased maintenance and repair costs (due to below C market), and increased cap ex due to homes in this particular region being older (many century homes).Then, even if at the end of the year it does well from a financial analysis standpoint, you may struggle to find the necessary and diligent and high performing property mgmt necessary to manage said property…so then if you self manage OOS, you will need a strong ‘boots on the ground’ team.many challenges come with these ‘$ sexy’ properties.

In fact, as long as the property performs well as a rental I would urge everyone who wants to undertake renovations to first begin with rental assets.

If the seller's address was in another county, I performed a similar search on that county appraisal district.I followed that up by searching Google, FB, Instagram, and other websites, depending on my guestimated age of the sellers, for more information about the seller.
