My gut feeling and research is telling me the sellers did a poor job on the breaker panel and wiring.

In neighborhoods that won't attract high credit score tenants, I've found that a stable job history with a MINIMUM of 1 year at current or previous job to be the best indicator of a great tenant. 

I have seen these circumstances; people die, go out and buy a car, lose their job, etc… Just my own two cents, I’m not an attorney, just play one on TV

There is strong rental demand because of growing population, job market, and the booming tech scene. 

I suspect if someone contests could be longer.I also think once you go to mediation this will get worked out pretty quick mediators if you get a good one do a nice job putting these deals together..

Lost job?

Is it wrong they tell the investors if asked to say they are "partners", or "contractors" just bidding the job? 

For a growth market to be growing, you need a lot of job and population migration. 

Also, focus on 2 years of job/income stability.Class D Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, all cashflow with little, maybe even negative, relative rent & value appreciationVacancy Est: 20%+ should be used to cover nonpayment, evictions & damages.Tenant Pool: majority will have FICO scores under 560 (almost 30% probability of default), little to no good tradelines, lots of collections & chargeoffs, recent evictions.

Just use google maps and you can do a good job counting the number and size of units.
