I know the seller themselves could provide information but I am concerned that motivated sellers will deliberately leave out the bad details of the property.

If the scenario was that they admit to poorly estimating the job, then I’d guess they deliberately low balled it to get the job.

You would gain your education and entry into real estate in a very deliberate way.

After MUCH research and deliberation, I just invested with Ashcroft Capital(Joe) on their latest deal, and I am looking to expand my investments in syndications. 

Most of the buildings I am looking at have open-air staircases but I hadn't thought about incorporating COVID trends.I always assume that while a seller may not be deliberately deceptive, but is at least leaving the door open for me to discover the real facts.

When they deliberately destroyed the wireless smoke detectors, they did serious damage, and endangered the other tenants in the building. 

As I said earlier, this would be my last resort, if it comes to light that this price hike is being managed deliberately with a goal to milk our relationship as much as possible.

Start slow, start deliberate.

You will likely have to evict the tenant at this time for the inability to pay.The second option is to begin to evict the tenant now due to failure to pay for deliberate damage to the property. 

I've read that it can be more difficult to finance deals through loans from large, national banks like JP Morgan Chase or Bank of America.
