yeah, where is this property? I can't imagine anything bought in 2021 that was only 60k is now worth less than 60K. Unless the place has been completely destroyed. You can always sell. Definitely don't abandon it.

"Hi Nate! This is Claire with Zillow.

I wanted to let you know I looped in our product team about the
background screening issue. It sounds like they were aware of the bug,
and a solution was ruled out yesterday! "

sounds like the basis of a class action lawsuit. Have you repeated the result with another applicant? 

Need to expand my contractor bench. Has anyone used the home depot network to find reliable contractors?

Trying new contractors is always a risk, and I'd love to hear your experience with it.

As a PM, if they don't ask any questions about you or your business model. Their style of management may not work with your investment strategy. If they don't ask about you, they just want more units, and may not work long term.
