I invested with ODC fairly recently for some of the same reasons many others have, Brandon, his positivity, energy and drive to succeed, ability to build a competent team, the network he has built, the communication and the investment structure the sponsors invested in themselves. ultimately, It is STILL our job as investors to monitor our money, ask questions and evaluate the sponsors' thru their reports. 

The options we have are: - Do nothing and keep monitoring the crack.- Seal the crack only from above and hope it stays static.- Stabilize the foundation with helical piers on the exterior. 

Nathan keep in mind not everyone is a landlord most litigation in RE is between partners and investors suing GPs etc etc. 

It was vital that the house be in close proximity to the one who knew how to do the repairs, because of the technology of our current time theoretically Id be able to monitor and track progress with a trust worthy foreman whos on the job, performing repairs, managing subs, and moving the needle.

Regular Inspections: Conduct frequent site visits to monitor progress and ensure quality standards are met.

It also had a change of one of the GPs in the sponsor name (i heard unofficially there was a divorce, sponsor name has been changed to reflect the person no longer being associated).  

These are areas GPs can control and I guess choosing not to. 

Obviously, the rules will differ from state to state.The most successful buyers have trusted bidders with cashier’s checks in multiple denominations (for cash sales) and the actual buyers have field runners and people to monitor multiple prospective properties at a given time and check sales status for postponements due to BK, etc.This is the case in larger metro markets where many properties could go to sale but few do so.There are often better ways to acquire properties then auctions.

From what I saw online, there is a company that monitors surges in the power lines and on a typical day they may get 1-5 surges but once they started with these high winds that number went over 200.

Ensure they send pictures and reports so you can monitor progress.4.Hire Trusted Contractors: Work only with contractors who come highly recommended by people you trust.
