I was not suggesting to go to an attorney in every situation, but if the OP is not familiar with the legal ramifications of the earnest money, and the realtor is not able to advise, nor is there specific language in the AOS outlining mediation, or steps of who is due earnest money it might be wise to consult with an attorney to fully understand legal options.

@Jaren BarnesI don’t really play in the MF sandbox but some colleagues that do are always talking about Gross Rent Multiplier.

This who conversation has gone on for weeks upon weeks now, and EVRY TIME it's a "o-o-oh, it's coming, it's coming, just starting, any day, any hour, it's coming" aaaaannnd NOTHING. 

I'm a fan of AO Smith water heaters.

Whether that meets the criteria of your question is an open point-I committed equity equivalent to a 25% down payment.Nice, Nick.Not to pick on your deal, but blanket or cross-collateralize clauses can be a tangled mess when you try to sell or refi one of the assets under the blanket.Matthew I agree with others that think the additional risk and hassle to obtain a 'O down' property often isn't worth the corresponding risk. 

The few I've stayed at were great the owner give us good info around the area but then also let us do are thing.

It isn't an easy process to find the right deals, but those who do are certainly rewarded for it.Please feel free to reach out if there is ever anything you need.  

Finally, we don't know what the virus itself will do.

So like I stated before choosing an AO to invest in is all about your knowing your goals, capabilities, needs!  

We have tried both OO and AO lists and we experienced a slightly better response rate.
