An obvious one would be when terms/rate to acquire are extremely attractive, on syndication where you are the minority shareholder, you can add good value after purchase, or you expect massive market appreciation in order to refinance shortly after purchase (as Michael mentioned above.)

This generally means that even if the sellers are approached by another buyer, they will not sell until you have a chance to finish your purchase in the agreed-upon time.Do not become extreme about this.Down payment money is no different from the rest of the money in a deal.

If this is a closely held LLC you may be under some extreme scrutiny by creditors at some point down the line.

Some make it a minefield, others make it fairly painless.I wouldn't go with what local landlords say though, there are lots of great people who you discover are slumlords, and the experience they have with the housing department is extremely negative.

When you enter into an agreement with Section 8 it is an extremely uneven relationship. 

I tried very hard not to be greedy or unfair, and I think what I have done is reasonable and fair, however I'm curious about your opinions.1) carpets - tenants had 2 dogs and carpets were left extremely dirty and soiled.  

Those who have foreclosed on a property more than likely lived anywhere from 5 months to 1 year mortgage free (again extremely worse than evictions which are most likely 1-2months of rent in arrears) I know many people (in Florida) who stall the courts and live 5 years in foreclosure and have the nerve to lease out the property and collect rent, paying the bank absolutely NOTHING.

Repairs will be no more than 5k (extremely conservative estimate), and the home is renting for $600 a month and rent hasn't been raised in the past four years.

This is generally not a do-it-yourself project and I'd be extremely cautious about taking money from anyone that is unsophisticated or non-accredited.
