So, I'm actually a software engineer and involved in network security topics (dont let the handsome old guy in my profile pic fool you)..  

100k to make 2k in rent is not too bad as long there’s not major rehab involved you should do alright on this deal

Unless you absolutely know you’ve got something claim “ worthy” I would not get them involved

If they still won't refund me I will have to get my lawyer involved. 

In all of this try to not get involved emotionally.

Hey @Karthik RamachandranIn general it is best to target markets with both positive employment growth and population growth.After evaluating the state for general economic trends and real estate related laws which will affect how you can operate in the state, the local market is important and can be very diverse within each state.  

If you're not so comfortable with yourself, and you feel it may be more beneficial to have the extra support and guidance of an involved partner, then that is the way you should go.

Understand the fees involved and calculate the total cost for an entire year of management so you can compare the different managers.

It harder to find and negotiate deals with enough marging when someone else is involved asking that much in return.

For almost every project we’re involved with we can value-engineer the design and or materials selection so there is NO increase in budget for the project which will ultimately be: safer, healthier, more energy efficient (net-zero being the goal), easier to maintain and insure, and feel more comfortable.Investors, in my opinion, are missing an opportunity by not embracing green.
