@Alexander Forrester From what I can tell by your question on this forum and your profile you essentially have no experience in multifamily rentals. Don't you think you should at least get some experience using your own money before jumping into a large commercial unit that requires you to use other peoples money? Risking someone else's money comes with a lot more stress and responsibility especially when it is a friend or a family member (at this point I assume those are the only people who would consider investing with you). I'm not trying to be condescending, but at this point you probably are not even aware of all the things you don't know, and that is a very dangerous position to be in.  

Did anyone else notice that Brandon now calls himself the host and the other people guest Co-hosts? Before he always used to call them guest hosts and he remained the co-host. Does this mean the Josh is stepping away from the podcast on a permanent basis?

@Kent Harris That sure sucks about the 15K in damages to that house. What would have popped up in the background check that would have told you not to rent to that person?

@Kent Harris In your original post you stated you were just looking to get the money back that you lost and nothing else. But from your response to me it is clear that you are probably after a little something else because she made you angry and you want her punished. 

Probably the most constructive thing would be for you to focus on what mistakes you made and how can work keeping those mistakes from happening again and don't waste time, energy, or money to punish her. Listen to your wife :).

So you took the guy to court and got judgment for $8000 even though the real amont you were out was much less, probably 1 or do months rent. So more like $1,000 or $2,000. You stated you are going to "make" $2,400 by getting a 1099 tax write-off, so I fail to see what you want the agent to pay you for now? Yes they messed up and didn't do what they were supposed to but why are you trying to get more money out of them if you are already made whole by the tax write-off?

Great job. However I feel I need to point out that you didn't include Repair, Capex, Management, or Vacancy into your calculation. In order to get an accurate ROI you should include these things. That being said it still looks like a good deal just not a 40% ROI deal.

@Thomas DeMoss

Do you know how much he charges for a basic eviction?
