@Patrick Shawn Faherty there's certainly enough feedback on this forum that anyone should be able to make an informed decision about MI, When evaluating any turn key companies, there are the things one should look for.In general, the ones to avoid are the ones that: Don't allow financing or a finance contingency (it can be a good indication they are selling above market value)Don't allow for your own independent property inspectionAre not realistic with their pro forma's (i.e. they don't include vacancy or maintenance projections or use unrealistically low vacancy factors)Require you to pay for any renovation upfrontSell only in cheap. low end neighborhoodsDon't accurately represent the neighborhood/property classificationDon't have consistent rehab standards for all propertiesDon't provide a scope of work for the propertyCan't provide references of repeat investors Require you to close before a tenant is in place

Ok but "should have known" and "did know" are two different standards, and unless the seller had a survey done before it was put up for sale that clearly labels the roof as crossing survey boundaries, I doubt you can make a case there for fraud ( which is what willful failure to disclose is).
