Understand dry wall materials etc have gone up because of the trade war.

With my professional connections, I can get a lot of construction labor and materials at deep discounts, however I should plan for it.  

Spells out material terms and assumptions.

Regardless of which branch this reflects poorly on their leadership ability and will affect their ability to get promoted which is a good thing.

I would ask to see any of the lease materials so you know all of your obligations and the rent you should be collecting and for how long. 

Terry Wright with Coldwell Banker teaches a really good class with exam prep materials.

I would consider that a material fact if the intention was clear that you were going to maintain this as a rental property, however if you do legal battle with them I don't know how much you'd realistically get.

As far as following up with the owners would you recommend to go and talk to them directly or regularly send them flyers and marketing materials (recently sold brochures, market reports etc...) to keep in touch with them? 

In their marketing material, they refer to the “guaranteed rent” program as “Immediate cash flow”.

When I'm home on the weekend, I'll look through my materials to see if the links, etc are still valid and see what I can post here.
