Did they provide another update? 

If it is someone you know you can give them a straight return as if its a loan - can provide a lower interest rate to provide upside - it really depends on the lender and what are they concerned with and what is their risk profile. 

A buyer agreement is the legal document that provides the agent with the assurance that he/she will get paid if they work with you to complete a real estate transaction. 

I wonder if your local MLS provider has a list of MLS_only brokers in their system?

Same to me on Zillow, I think it’s because Zillow makes money providing or finding loans.

I have used avail.co in the past with great success but it appears this software and others no longer market on zillow which I know to provide a lot of leads in the past. 

If the electronic lock fails, you provide the tenant with the code so they can access the key.

I'm happy to go walk the property and take photos and provide a simple report of the information you want to help you make a decision. 

Again, this is only based on info you provided so there could be a lot more to the story for the good or bad but I can only comment on what was provided. not sure many are thinking rates are going to drop much in the next year.. seems like one would want to know how much they need to drop to see if the plan will work before putting good money after bad.

An unencumbered outlook is therefore necessary to provide some comfort in the gnarly world of distressed property.
