I hesitate to use that example because the LLC members may have been bad actors who abused the protections of the LLC, but the example stands none the less.

I guess the definition of a good deal varies from person to person - but I've noticed you have to have an "in" with someone or you need to be able to act or buy or sign a contract within a day or two to get a good deal on something that is b class or above - lots of c and d class rentals in wichita available and I'm sure available in any type of market.  

That is why when we are ready to take over the USA (sorry'all enjoy your freedom while it lasts muuhahaha) we are going to build offices everywhere and then like a malicious virus spread and take over!

(c) A violation of this section:(1) is a false, misleading, or deceptive act or practice within the meaning of Section 17.46, Business & Commerce Code, and is actionable in a public or private suit brought under Subchapter E, Chapter 17, Business & Commerce Code; and(2) in addition to other rights or remedies provided by law, entitles the purchaser to cancel and rescind the executory contract and receive from the seller:(A) the return of all payments of any kind made to the seller under the contract; and(B) reimbursement for:(i) any payments the purchaser made to a taxing authority for the property; and(ii) the value of any improvements made to the property by the purchaser.

Your odds, as a local OR a nonlocal in most markets, is that you will end up using a scrub or a shark -- someone who is incompetent (at best) or malicious (at worst).By starting with "who", you can "borrow" the trust circles that they have fought hard to win, and then grow from there.Good luck in the journey!

One simple trick is that if you are making the first call to a PM, GC or escrow company you are a bit more protected from bad actors.

It was a malicious act of vandalism.5) Life. 

You got a new tenant for a new property, and he left not because of any evil or malicious reasons on his part, but because someone broke into your property not once, but twice in one month shortly after he moved in. 

And I've only had to do that once and it wasn't due to malicious damage, it was amateurish 'improvements' to the property.

This is similar to D.C.’s Tenant Opportunity to Purchase Act, or TOPA which became a way for D.C. renters to hold some homes hostage for high-dollar payouts and enabled renters to block sales until the law was reformed.
