Also, concerns surrounding potential valuation corrections in this market had me thinking it was probably best to pull my capital and redeploy into a more 'stable' market/LTR. 

As Chris and Justin note, the old adage of "vet the jockey (sponsor), not the horse" does not work anymore.While the sponsor can definitely screw up a deal, investing with the "best" sponsor is bad deals is a more surefire way to lose money.  

There's a very good chance the issue(s) you face have already been discussed and answered.Ask questions in the appropriate forum.

The funny thing is this was a very small (~600’) unit where any alarm going off should be heard by anyone in the unit.  

but... in my experience, you will be in a stronger position if you build a network of humans by going to real estate meetups and really learning a market.for example - here in Pittsburgh we have a lot of old houses that need big rehabs. and the best software / AI in the world can't help me, because it doesn't know the conditions of the interior, the sewer line, etc. for most of them. 

Thank you all very much!

Everyone knows, time is very important in ensuring a good closing. 4.

Townhomes are a viable option, as sing family houses in the best areas can easily get in the mid 400s and up real quick.I focus on North Raleigh, Brier Creek, Bethesda (durham county) to name a few spots.

We can discuss contractors, decor and the best/most important amenities for your home.
