(Kylie Cooper / The Seattle Times)Several of the largest property management companies operating in Seattle conspired to drive up rents and decrease competition, three lawsuits filed this month allege.The cases, filed in federal court in Seattle, focus on the use of RealPage software, which gathers information about rental units and rent prices and uses an algorithm to recommend how much landlords should charge.The complaints claim that by exchanging detailed and “competitively sensitive” information, RealPage and the landlords have illegally created a “cartel” to set prices in violation of antitrust laws.The widespread use of RealPage has increased rents across the country and in Seattle neighborhoods such as downtown, Capitol Hill, the Central District, South Lake Union and Queen Anne, the complaints allege.The lawsuits, filed on behalf of tenants, cited an investigation by the nonprofit news outlet ProPublica that was published in October and detailed the use of RealPage in Seattle and other cities.

I also want to put a strong emphasis on what John said.In 2020 there was a "fund syndication" that was investigated by SEC as it promotes real estate with fraudulent mechanisms and is suspected as a ponzi scheme. 

Police say the street value is estimated at more than $5.4 million.The investigation is currently ongoing.

The offer I sent out does not have my signature on it and I add a contingency in the agreement: " Buyer can cancel the agreement any time due to the land investigation".

Title Company B issued preliminary title how many days after Title Co A?

Whether they investigate and anything ever comes of it is another matter.

A lot is over my head so I am investigating what you said I am from Deland so I may know the property you are taking about About 9 months ago I did buy 100 acres about 30 mins from Flagler beach with the intention of splitting it up and selling it off in 2022Any suggestions or advice from you or anyone else is much appreciated Thank you again. 

ouch. you probably tried this but many towns have a problem properties list...and maybe code inspectors can be called on to thoroughly investigate the property again and again and again...those things are usually complaint driven.

I began doing some research on what this process should look like, and below is the language from HUD regarding the property appraisal and eligibility verification process:As the on-site representative for the Mortgagee, the Appraiser provides preliminary verification that a Property meets the Property Acceptability Criteria, which include HUD’s Minimum Property Requirements (MPR) or Minimum Property Standards (MPS).
