Is my partner liable to pay for those costs?

The building has 2 leases up in April 2025 for way below market rent (the difference is 600-1000 per month).

I've heard a number of BP podcasts where they talk about an "appreciation market" or a "cashflow market".  

We can't disclose as we are working on off market transactions.

I'm using the ENEMY method, AirDNA, Mashvisor, Revedy, and Pricelabs for comps and analysis.I was able to select the market and community that is marketed as vacation rental homes and most of the houses are set up as STR.

I believe that to be the most common practice at least in my market.

For simple fact you're not paying that, your tenants are.

What should be right way to find these investor buyers in the market?

If you don't, and don't have any other contingency, the bank will your your earnest money.Yes, if you want an inspection, you pay an inspector to do it.

With being new your listing presentation/marketing plan is key.
