Again, not sure how Ohio is, but Texas binds us as long as there is performance and acceptance of work.I would start digging to find any sort of written agreement.

Feel free to ask any questions you have and dig into everything you can get your hands on.

Like any other investment (crowdfunding or otherwise), dig deep into the documentation provided with these deals.

The local DIG group has recommended him to me for my transactions.

@Douglas Costello you should be able to get public record info for the property but you'll just have to know where to look and dig a little online.Try masslandrecords.com, select Bristol county (little out of my home-base here but I *believe* that's Taunton...).Each county has a different sub-site for indexing and searching records so you'll just have to familiarize yourself a bit there with their interface.You should be able to search by property address or owner name and find records associated with the property..mortgages/deeds, etc.  

If they're appraisals by appraisers for the purpose of determining market value, then I would dig deeper as those are typically based on comps, and if you can't find comps then where are they getting them from?  

We are looking out in Indy also, we have been digging a little and like what we are seeing.

Digging into it, it doesn't appear he has done much renovations over last 5 years of ownership but he is asking quite a high price (which I guess is what you do when you're selling).
