I would suggest following up with the PM and ask if they have proactively provided change of management details (essentially, letting the tenants know that new owner effective 03/29/2024 and were rents should be sent).

Also a small business owner. 

The apartment owner sent in plumbers, contractors and everyone else they could to investigate but absolutely no one else smelled it.

So I recently joined this site and noticed a lot of investors inquiring about contractors, which got me thinking.

If I continue to get no response from the listing agent, would it be problematic to skip trace the home owner and contact them directly?

You can go to their site and learn a lot about multi family housing administration, development, redevelopment, Sec 8 and other programs that can be of interest to investors.

Yes I get it, this is really you on the site, that's nice, BUT do you have the money, do you have the capabilities and expertise to buy my house?

@Zach AdamsTax benefits, such as depreciation and deductions for costs associated with rental halves of the property, are available to duplex owners through house hacking.

Once recorded, the owner/seller of the property will not be able to close on the property without addressing this issue, thereby blocking them from cutting you out and selling to another party.Other than that, keep in mind it is VERY difficult to win in court for specific performance to force the seller to sell.Good luck, and keep moving forward!
