--meaning the physical, organizational, communication systems, etc. in place drive employee behavior and ultimately morale. 

Talk about stepping in poo.The moral of this story is talk to everyone you can.

The more people say that, the less competition there is those people who know how to do it legally, morally and ethically.You can wholesale legally.

At least you won't be out everything.But I think the moral here is there need to be more a process before the initial offer, definitely more due diligence and safety.  

@Alexander Felice - I see both points; however isn't there some sort of moral or ethical obligation to the neighborhood in which your rental units are present to not be blind to criminal activity taking place on your property?

@Ross McKenzieAssuming you didn't just choose a realtor that has no ethics or morals at all and that you are looking at MLS type properties it is unlikely your broker violated his obligations just for you. 

Moral of that example, from a personal finance side, always propose using a cigar wrapper, if she says yes, it's about you, then go together to pick out your ring!

In this case it would not be for me to say one way or another whether the morality of the considerations or variables are right or wrong. 

Read and adjust your contract to detail even the littlest scope of work.Check with your own insurance company to see if you can claim anything for storm-related damage.I’m sorry you’re in this predicament, I thought finding deals was going to be the hardest part but right now it seems finding companies who do the right thing is much harder.

Just joined the forums and wanted to get some opinions regarding my predicament.
