Ryan, I'd be a little suspicious of the no entry policy but you can write your offer subject to inspection of the properties. 

Do not accept or return phone calls from Microsoft, Apple, an anti-virus software provider or any other software company saying they have noticed suspicious activity on your computer (especially if they say it is urgent or your account is about to be suspended).

Regardless, call me suspicious when I would hear others say, “Real estate investing for me is all about positively impacting communities.”My cynical self would say, right buddy, it's all about the Benjamins to you.

If it gets stolen again I'd probably get another one and start to be a little suspicious.

I felt that the refusal to show the interior very suspicious and I'm assuming that everyone would automatically reject this property based on that fact. 

I would start a new threadit is so convoluted I don’t think you are getting good advice because people think different thingsbut to me if I get 50% of profits and the property is in your name  for just for purchasing the property sign me upYou said the contractor is experienced and very good at what they do I would be very suspicious of why they don’t have the money to do it on their ownthe one thing I would NOT do is pay for their time and the materials   That is up to them You could end up paying them weekly as well as paying for supplies the place never gets done you’re out of the country and you’re screwed

And understand, these people are going to call you certifiably paranoid and crazy suspicious when you first mention any suspicion whatever.

Many FSBOs are leery or suspicious of agents and don’t want to work with them.

@Matt McGuire I would also be suspicious if they cannot proved leases and cannot or will not get signed estoppel agreements.  

But when she told me that she had concerns on the name of account that I'm transferring the money to (i.e. the person is not an attorney or involved in real estate, etc), that's when I got suspicious.
