Most of the people of Mexico are so friendly, and of course every country has its bad apples.

That being said, here’s what I would recommend for a thorough DD process:-Build a plan in advance (setup a spreadsheet, meet with the team, etc)-be prepared to take a lot of pictures -document notes with each room (we use notes on Apple and share it with the team)-align the team on standardizing information (example: what does “bad” mean, what does “okay” mean, etc - everyone looks at things differently and you want to make sure the notes are accurate during your debrief)-bring in professionals for things you can see, like sewer lines hope this short list helps! 

I wonder what I'd be able to do with 3-6 months then.It's sort of like comparing apples to oranges then I'd assume?

However, the specific comps can vary and its hard to make it a perfect apples to apples comparison. 

They say this can take 30 days, yet I see complaints on BBB and the App Store for Google and Apple where people have not gotten their money back yet even after several months.I have contacted my bank and they said you have 60 days to file a dispute from the date of your DEPOSIT not the time you request the transfer back into your bank. 

Ask them to explain how you're supposed to have a warranty w/o them giving you the receipt.3) Labor Charges: should be defined in your PM contract OR they should present a bid for your approval with labor & materials.Now a couple of thoughts in the PMC's defense:1) If you didn't get a receipt, how did you match the exact same model at Lowe's, so the price of $530 is apples-to-apples?

Granted that's apples and oranges, because the new homes are larger and all in the suburbs, but as long as you can buy an existing home for half the price per square foot than a new construction home I would be careful with expecting peak appreciation.

So you're not really comparing apples to apples here.Also, most likely the syndication/crowdfunding deal you are comparing to is a completely different real-estate asset class than single family (i.e. probably multi-family,office, self storage,mobile home parks or something else).

Bottom line is they are worth more independantly than together as they are apples and oranges and tougher to sell when bundled together- when you do decide to sell.
