The astute buyer investor has to research intensively and make conservative assumptions on how the property might perform and operate.If a buyer purchases on the premise the seller is selling that if everything goes perfect the costs will be XX then the buyer is being set up for failure as the odds are against them.

The most desperate option is a Motion to Quash, saying the entire foreclosure is invalid for a variety of reasons, but most often for failure to properly serve the defendant.

You should also probably let me worry about controlling for properties that actually cash flow.OK Mike, let's talk about diversification and control ... you have 12 Baltimore properties that you are "controlling" from Brooklyn ... to do that, you need to rely solely on a single PM to screen tenants, select them, perform repairs, collect rents, and send them to your Brooklyn PO box ... you have a single point of failure outside of your control, not 12.

This is a moral failure in your view?

I have heard of failures and I have heard of successes.  

As a final take away: "Doubt kills more dreams than failure ever will" -Suzy Kassam

This means that system failure does not fill your house with poo.I don't recommend them but when you have to you have to.

If you are unable to recognize progress, then you are obviously not progressive. ..If only we had $10mm Federal Grant to study "failure of financially successful real estate business guys to embrace realness, diversness, toleranceness and wokeness in the urban environment".... 

It is simply another added extra that is a potential point of failure that will drive up your expenses.

As far as I'm concerned if I purchased a TK property and there was no forecast in the financials for vacancy and a vacancy occurs, the TK provider should be reimbursing me for my loss due to their failure to adequately account for it.
