As a few mentioned, you need to get it inspected to confirm whether or not it is in fact mold or if they're just simply trying to get out of their lease.

But, you need some reserves and it costs more to buy in at this level. 

@David LeeIn our experience, the #1 mistake owners make when selecting a Property Management Company (PMC) is ASSUMING instead of CONFIRMING.

Pay off your credit cards ( the bank can do that for you with the proceeds) and start aggressively paying off that consolidation loan while making sure you have reserves for the three doors you now own. 

I would want to know the buyer's source of funds for the down payment and proof of some reserves for repairs.

Save up at least 3 months of reserves before you close.

This is where reserves are crucial.

By the time I finally did my first one ( 90 home build and sell project) I made sure we had no debt on the underlying assets and only took debt on to build the homes plus huge reserves..

@Alberto Cioni Typically, the broker commissions within a DST investment are 4-6%, and the rest of the fees are used by the sponsor to structure the offering, marketing fees, lender fees, reserves (any remaining returned at disposition), etc.
