Nothing conclusive, but definitely suspicious IMO.

But something was a little suspicious after he mentioned he has applied at more than 10 places and never got accepted.  

Account Closed, any kind of transfer right before a sale and 1031 is always looked at suspiciously by the Service. 

I would also be suspicious of the property manager... this level of negligence on the tenant's part seems suspicious though. 

I am suspicious that the seller may be trying to cover up some damage to the property and would love to get some more insight into how to protect myself or identify if that is the case.Here is what I know:- The property has a finished basement that is partially underground (approximately half the story).- The property was purchased and flipped by the current owners.- The property was under contract for at least 60 days before I ever looked at the property.- There was a fresh new paint smell when I toured the property.- There was some standing water that existed in the crawl space.- The property inspector was suspicious of water entry in the basement but had no proof as the area had been freshly repainted.My fear is with this property that the finished basement has a water entry issue.

If things seem suspicious than you dig deeper, with more requests. 

Nothing is worse in a transaction then when a buyer is suspicious of your advice.

If the students of the program were only selling properties to each other, that would be suspicious.

view=Summary&uc=1they seem like good deals from a cashflow perspective, but i'm suspicious of the age...although i suppose a building can last indefinitely assuming the foundation is solid and other parts are regularly maintained.thanks
