I did work with a GC who provided the proper licensure for the project, as well as daily project oversight.

The listing agent came back with the inspection report from the previous purchaser from May, and asked if I could use that and remove the contingency.As I read through the report, it became apparent why the buyer backed out-Loose vinyl siding with potential animals living inside, caulk/sealant missing from trim on doors, moisture intrusion on windows with soft spots and exterior cladding loose, shingles missing from roof with light visible from the attic, cracked floor joists, first floor uneven with large slopes (you could skydive off the leveler before you hit the ground), uneven stairs, signs of inward movement on the foundation with masonry recommendation, active leak in basement pipe.I'm trying to be creative in making this work.

I cold call daily to find off-market deals.

There are no leaks, no moisture anywhere, and we added several soffit vents.

I take it the private equity stuff will take care of the capital needed for regular daily operations?

I try and cold call daily to find those deals. 

They will have to manage whatever you buy on a daily basis until you sell the property or terminate them.

You have to check in daily.

All 3 companies took air humidity readings and moisture readings of the wood joists and warned me about the long-term danger of my floor joists warping since they are made of composite wood.

There's a chance they caused the moisture that allowed this growth and failed to report it in a timely manner, they are violating the law by withholding rent, and they are generally a pain in your backside.You also have to own up to your own mistakes and may want to consider hiring a property manager before your mistakes cost you tens of thousands.
