Yes, there is an argument made that they have to disclose anything material, but that is subjective.With that said, a red flag that came up recently for me when investing out of state was when I was in escrow on a property that was purchased just a few months prior.

Obviously the place is totally derelict so not much to disclose (basically check yes to everything being wrong lol) but I was just curious for the future. 

My payoff was then added to the sellers side, I’d be paid back at the time of closing and seller and buyer then would take 2nd position from seller finance and my payoff on sellers side should have been wired back to me.Never disclosing another lien on the seller side and nothing in the HUD, we theoretically had no concerns.

I know we're in a good position because the sellers will now have to disclose some of the crap-ton of problems their place has and the foundation expert said that by refusing to fix the foundation they may end up having to be in a "sold AS IS" position which will drop the value significantly. 

But we were told Graystar management has a policy that they don't disclose any rental history even with a signed release of info by the tenants?!

Not sure of the legality behind finding and publically disclosing this information (mail fraud potentially?)

This was not disclosed to me before the purchase and now I'm finding myself in a situation that could end in serious financial harm to myself. 

having been a Broker for 45 years I am all for paying the commissions  but add on like this not really unless its fully disclosed prior to working with them and we agree on it..

As many of you know, Assembly Bill 968 will take effect on July 1, 2024, mandating flippers of residential properties to disclose recent repairs and renovations if they sell within 18 months of acquisition.

I do have to disclose that I am on a student-based work visa at the moment called F1, I am unsure whether this will affect my ability to buy real estate so would love more guidance on that!
