This sounds like a REALTOR attempting to attract buyers.

I let my accountant know theres an error and he is attempting to fix it.

These are very risk gambles that should only be attempted with money you don't really care about.  

I have learned from experience that clear communication is far better than attempting to conceal the sale.

I know, there are plenty of red flags there, but I do believe it is worth the risk when I consider how happy it makes my wife, how life-changing it will be for the family, how minor the financial impact will be on me, and how it gives me the opportunity to practice the steps of real estate investing with forgiving tenants.Finally, I am going to attempt to self manage as nothing comes close to cash-flowing if you include PM costs.

attempting to respond earnestly to your post - Satanic ritual abuse is a real and serious issue that often goes completely under the radar for many reasons.

It will have ups and downs, you will make mistakes, but I have found real estate investing to be a rewarding endeavor. 

Even paying it late they're obviously making an attempt, which is 99% more than most tenants would do.

This may turn into a class action suit, but I think it's better to even be first to the punch before that.My recommendation is that you be first in line to hire an attorney to attempt to get part of your funds back.

Wishing you all the best in your real estate investing endeavors!
