work out whatever terms you want with them.everything else is hard money / commercial money.

@Eric Miller Choosing between one $600k property at 70% LTV and four $300k properties at 95% LTV depends on your goals, risk tolerance, and management capacity.

But if you bought your properties correctly, it will work out.

I've been thinking I want to work for real estate investors in whatever capacity if I can be trained and also learn at the same time, or work somewhere that would still allow me to have an income while I'm learning at the job within the real estate environment.... does this sound like a good idea? 

I'd talk to a banker anyway to see what they might be willing to work out with you. 

Which is why I pay more, for less cash flow in highly desirable areas.In high income areas, rent is a lower proportion of income so therefore your tenants have a higher capacity for paying higher rent because rent is less than 20% or even 10% of their income.

With real estate, you have to make sure each property is functioning at full capacity or you’ll be losing money.You can analyze properties and be pretty sure (as long as you don't rationalize bad deals into good ones) what your numbers will be. 

So, if you could get another dryer, maybe even two, and place them in a garage or closet I would work out how to do that asap! 

We send countless emails, and he answers us every 6/8 months saying he will work out a payment plan.

If you're signed with AvantStay on the master lease and the numbers work out for you, I'd say ride it out for as long as possible.
