A challenge non the less and a point noted. majority of cases though from ' i like it' to 'deal agreed' to ' sale concluded' will not be as complex as the one in your case however i think in house case specialists could be provided to clients whom red flags are pickup between the deal agreed phase to the sale concluded phase.

But if 4 people can’t come up with $80k then that’s a huge red flag...Not to mention a 4 way partnership sounds like a disaster waiting to happen...

However, in order to get the best data available one has to be a player in the market and know the historical off market prices, and also the prices at which distressed property can be bought (usually for prices way below what is publicly offered).
