They don’t understand the maintenance and repairs that are just standard for a homeowner and don’t have practical expectations.

I want to practice on the calcs, but realize that there are sections that I do not know how to find or estimate.

So, they would be practicing real estate without a license. 

Its been great, lots of practice dealing with tenants, maintenance calls, etc.

ideally you want to inspect every single unit in a multifamily..... when you are talking big numbers, that not practical, but you should try and inspect as many as possible and YOU get to ick the units and numbers.Believe it or not, there are sellers that will hide stuff from you :)And again on cost.... it really depends on how much water damage you actually have and what you are putting back in..... this isn't necessarily a "basic remodel"..... so don't compare it to just a "remodel"......

I am a RE investor in DFW and have developed a system for off market deals through SEO.

However you unfortunately, I believe, are going to be stuck speaking with a construction attorney in regards to the matter (the only person who can give advice on what to do legally here, no one in the forum who isn't an attorney can give legal direction it would "practicing law", i would think you could easily get a consultation), even though what your saying in broad terms seems like a definitive violation it all comes down to what does the contract say and more importantly was it written properly and in a way that can be enforced in an expeditious manner.

Seems like a predatory practice (if that’s the case) because why would anyone who understands the process pay more than the price of the certificate for the property when the home owner could redeem or sell the home anytime prior to redemption?

But they can, without lying, target their SEO etc at the word. - The comparison isn't apples to apples.

Just didn’t know if it was too much on one door from a practical perspective.Thanks for replying!
