@Rashard Dennis They usually require some skin in the game.

I would prefer to have PM in place as well as a tenant in place, or at least know that the deal will not close until the tenant is in place.For full transparency provide a list of comps dated within the most recent month and only about 1-2 mile radius max (we know you need to make money on the sale but would help establish trust).Communication seems to be one of the biggest pain points I read about so maybe focus on that as well.

Would you investors even waste your time with such a discounted offer or is that just part of the numbers game?
