I’m unsure how to properly approach, so I usually say “I was looking at a property in the neighborhood to purchase… are you interested in selling” (Paraphrased).

That said, @Richard Burke there are proper ways that rules (especially antiquated rules) can be changed.

I am a scratch business owner a few times over, so I'm well aware of the need for planning, research, and execution of a solid plan.

Except for the unscrupulous wholesalers that try to re-market property already for sale at a higher price, proper deal sourcing and problem solving does take a ton of work!

It is fundamental for me to comp properties properly. 

Send a demand letter via certified mail giving the PM (and their broker if applicable) 10 days to provide a copy of the lease, proper accounting for the $$ and any deposit/funds remaining. 

However it seems our lawyer has been going back and forth with the sponsor's lawyer for over a week now...they won't budge on the following addition that our lawyer is pushing for: "The principal/owner of the selling corporate entity (an LLC) will be personally liable for all the contractual terms of the executed contract of sale."

@Justin Hamel, to get the @ symbol to work properly to tag someone, you have to choose the name that pops up in a prompt near the bottom of the page after you type the symbol and the first few letters of the persons name. 

Plus, instead of 1 or 4 properties, BRRRR executed properly has no limits.

It will all come down to whether you truly managed separate accounts within mixing funds, did you maintain the proper business filings for every separate entity, or where the business just created to defraud creditors, etc.
