Anyway, I think @Saad D. is here on the forums and probably can address these concerns for you right away.

I'd love if the property would cash-flow after we move out, but the neighborhood and appreciation potential is the biggest concern for me.

I am not obsessing over numbers right now, more concerned with doing the right kind of work and building something sustainable.

That's what has always concerned me with getting a property subject-to. 

Realize these same concerns apply to other Syndication asset types also.Do stress tests against the deal for both hitting the financial targets and also the Capital Stack impact.

DM us if you'd like some 1-on-1 assistance.Hi, Drew, actually I asked about the Sentinel Fund, for a friend and came on BP to ask professional if its legit or not, and now I put this post to go "fishing" for the right team to build, I do thank you for your concern for not being taken advantage of, but thats what this platform is for, to find, hopefully, a real estate agent, property manager etc. when I say fishing- someone that will take the TIME to ASK the right questions and actually has the experience to prove what they can do, have done and will do for you!

Will be far easier to purchase more property with 10% downpayments vs 20-25% for each one.Umbrella insurance isn't too expensive, $2M for $1200 per year.Just be sure to run the properties as a good business, address any concerns brought up by the insurance company (they usually do annual inspections). 

Do the laws vary from state to state, and if so, is anyone familiar with the laws concerning this in West Virginia? 

Since you admit you know very little, why don't you analyze what's gone wrong with this PMC and interview new ones to address your concerns?

The concern with out of state investing is your money goes to down payment and property management.
