In fact all of Houston itself is just one giant patchwork of subdivisions.

The contracting part of this business is a huge, giant cost and time driver.

I was not able to get hold of my realtor since last Thursday, she just does not answer my texts. 

Unfortunately, I am not able to meet in Sunday, would you be able to Saturday?

@Robert Anthony Lewis Most real estate investors and realtors fear the hang up or are not able to locate correct phone numbers for the sellers they are looking for.

Unfortunately, I am not able to "prove" that based on how it transpired.

He is not in the area and not able to access the MLS here, which is why I went with a different agent.My question is-- am I being totally unethical if I ask to cancel the contract?

If you are not able to raise a lot rent (by more renovations) during the period you own the 5+unit, it is very difficult to make money when selling it, because the rental income stay the same, ==>the cap rate stay the same, ==> the selling price stay the same==> we still lost money on the commission, escrow fee etc. even the selling price and purchase price are the same Good Cap rate ==> good selling price Bad cap rate ==> bad selling price To make money on 5+ unit when selling is, find an ugly trash 5+ building, buy it at a low price because the cap rate was not good, then make a lot renovations to increase the rent, to have a much better cap rate, then the selling price will be much higher than the purchase price.

The only time I had a house appraise too low was when I was selling an out of state rental, not able to make it back in town before the appraiser scheduled so I couldn't even leave a packet of information there, and the idiot ignored good comps near mine and instead used ones almost a mile away right next to public housing. 

Hi @Robert Lorenz  I'm not able to upload but if you look in the file section there is a detailed list with questions for PM.
