While not a realtor I disagree. You found the house and have no contract with the realtor so you are free both morally and legally to pursue with another realtor.

Red flags galore. Sounds like the previous landlord is trying to dump a problem on you. Run run run away.

Msg me so I can get more detailed info. There's no hard and fast rule to give you as indep is a little wonky with what's good and what's not. My niche is 3/1.5 and above for families in good school districts so I stick to Majnly fort Osage and some Truman for rentals.

Sorry I got sidetracked at work. So are you looking at houses in that range with that rental income? What class neighbor hoods/ houses. We have all from A-D. Fort Osage school district is the best and is located on the north eastern side. Truman school is decent and chrisman and van horn districts are sketchy.

I took 2 years to rebuild my credit, reduce my debt and save some cash. You could use that time to educate yourselves on REI and make some connections and network so that everything is in place when it is time to pull the trigger.

I wouldn't give her a dime then. This is starting to sound a little scamy to me. I also wouldn't do anymore deals with them. Tell him to pay her out of his share of he is so inclined too.
