Much like @Rereloluwa Fatunmbi I got involved in Houston, too.

That could involve mediation or court, OR possibly if nobody takes an action you may simply be awarded the EMD back after a certain time period.

@Vidit Maini Starting your business as an LLC taxed as a C corporation offers flexibility but involves double taxation unless you elect S corp status, allowing profits to pass through to your personal return.For tax savings, deduct startup costs, track business mileage or vehicle expenses, and consider a home office deduction.

The PM handles almost everything except the decision-making.Would it be rude or inappropriate if I communicated directly with the PM without involving my realtor?

HoltonWise is currently involved in litigation on the topic.

I have thought about Fundrise (medium success when I invested there), Crowdstreet (I have not invested there but might consider), farmtoghether (20k invested there already) and groundfloor (bad experience so not looking to invest there).Any advice will be appreciated.There is no greater wealth than peace of mind - Buddha - I have both directly owned real estate and passive investments in my portfolio.And if you're an accredited investor, then you have many options for investing in real-estate passively (and that don't involve all the stress of direct management nor putting money into public markets...which tend to be much more volatile).

Those are 3 days, involve a bus tour and more.

I'm looking to get involved in this space, too. 

The property manager should be involved before you buy any property to give input on due diligence, how to increase income and reduce expenses, and to make repairs or improvements to maximize occupancy.Excellent property management is critical to your success before, during, and when planning to sell or refinance.To your success!

There is so many ways it can go wrong and being a greater negative for parties involved.
