For example, on what I thought was a relatively simple project in a bathroom reno which was fully gutted down to the studs already, I had more than one quote for over $7k to run pex supply lines and rough in a shower drain and toilet drain off of an existing main stack, all of which ended up costing me about $200 in pex lines, PVC fittings, and sawzall blades.If you need any hardwood flooring repaired, patched, or refinished, you can't beat Dave's Hardwood Flooring out of Blaine - $3k spent with them fully brought one of my duplex unit's original 100+ year old maple floors back to life.If you're putting in any stone counters in your kitchens or for bathroom vanities, Twin City Discount Granite have been awesome to work with, and consistently have the best pricing I've found in the area on fully installed granite and quartz.I also have a great drywall guy, as well as a really good carpet install guy - feel free to DM me if you want either of their contact info!

Even if it was a low performer (which it isn't), isn't it part of the game to reimagine, see the potential and make it a success? 

When you have several rentals the other performing rentals cover everything and you don't feel the stress from the one nonperforming rental.

It performed well last year and has a proven track record.

(I am getting pretty tired myself sounding like a broken record).Direct mail marketing works SO poorly, you need to send THOUSANDS of mailers, AND you need to send these thousands of mailers SEVERAL times to get a deal.So:BECAUSE the performance is SO low you need to send thousands to COMPENSATE for its poor performance AND hit the receivers several times BECAUSE the performance is so low to get a deal.Conclusion: "Direct mail marketing works"WHAT THE HECK?!

Quote from @Matthew McLaughlin: Is this a market you believe will perform well for the next 10-20 years?

Do you perform regular preventative maintenance to avoid emergencies or are you more reactive?

Owners mistakenly ASSUME all PMCs offer the exact SAME SERVICES and PERFORM those services EXACTLY THE SAME WAY, so price is the only differentiator – so, they often select the first PMC they call or that calls them back!

If you have a 12-month history of the property's performance, you may be able to get some wiggle room with more local banks for it.One thing that may impact the lender's ability to lend could be the Debt Service Coverage Ratio (DSCR), but as long as the property cash flows well then that shouldn't be an issue. 

Can the syndicator be removed if they are not performing?
