Later that day he sent me an email with an example photo and details of a property similar to what I would presumably purchase from them or with their help?

I presume probate court will become part of the scenario.

The master bathroom is still working, but I presume for some reason the kid in the master bath wouldn't share.I was doing all I could to get the contractor to finish the job on a weekly basis.

Presuming not your deal, or employee of the sponsor; what other active role (other than raise $) will you have in the deal?

One strategy we employ is to give preference to those who are from out of the area and here for a set period of time (and then presumably leaving back to where they are from).

So, I would presume that if a tenant sent a partial electronic payment I could simply refund it even at the court hearing claiming that I am not accepting the payment.

As the bad apples make everyone look bad and be presumed guilty of malfeasance, which ultimately means less investment $$$ and longer due diligence cycles and legal costs. 

The amount of STRs that will pull out in non-regulated areas will flood the LTR and MTR markets I am presuming.

Presumably you hired an agent, because that is the only way to post in the MLS.

I don't want to presume what you mean.
