Would you have any recommendations, in your experience, for what to look out for in the documents that would be red flags or items that would negotiable?

*Any red flags unique to the Pittsburgh market.I’m also hoping to connect with fellow investors, agents, or property managers who are familiar with the local market.

The fact they ask you to do this is not only a red flag for obvious reasons, but also because, they should know better how risky this is for you and if they had true good intentions they would have understood that and not offer you that option.What you can do is tell them..

@Tori Roy A couple red flags I noticed with this company that you posted. 

If 4 syndicators offer 10% and another is offering 15-20% then a red flag should go up and ask “why is this one better” if the operator says it’s because their secret sauce I would laugh. 2.

Turning your little green houses in to large red hotels.

You will always get more money listing it but sometimes it takes a bit longer wind has a little more red tape.

I’ve developed a Comprehensive Investor Report (CIR) for a property in Palm Coast, FL, designed to be transformed into a luxury rental asset while serving as the foundation for a scalable asset management strategy.Here’s a quick snapshot of the deal:Property: Red Birch Lane, Palm Coast, FLCurrent Value: $350,000+Mortgage Balance: $165,000Current Equity: $185,000Investment Required: $177,500 (for luxury upgrades and optimization)Projected Monthly Rent: $4,500 with 2% annual increasesTarget ROI: Full 1.5x ROI for investors achieved in 9 yearsLuxury Features: Smart home automation, designer finishes, professional-grade kitchen appliances, and more.I’ve also structured a capital distribution plan with a waterfall approach:8% Preferred Return for investors.Full Return of Capital to investors before profit splits.Post-ROI, a 20/80 split (Investor/Management) ensures long-term alignment.

JC’s lenient approach is definitely a draw for investors looking to avoid the red tape that’s becoming more common in larger cities.

That's Property Management 101.If your PM didn't have this lined up and didn't make you aware of this limitation upfront, that's a red flag.
