Make sure you buy it low enough to make it worth the trouble.

I do feel like I'm to eager to start and I can see how that might get me in trouble.

Just this year I had a longtime foundation contractor get into some trouble and never came back to do the slab so I could start framing.

I was thinking what Dave Foster said in regards to you having troubles, especially with buying a syndication.

I want to give them the benefit of the doubt they are just struggling with staffing but now have seen some red flags that lead me to believe there might also be some type of deceit/fraud and possible financial trouble.

I have someone who is having trouble STRing a house in Kissimmee.

It's a competitive market and most of the people that get in trouble here are ones that buy blindly without actually figuring out the numbers, etc.You'd be surprised the number of times I get asked after month one if their electric bill of $xxx or whatever is normal, and the thought running through my head is "how did you not  check things like that before you committed half a million dollars to something?"

With an extra vacancy or a maintenance issue or an extra turnover, this is definitely a negative cash flow producing investment.So when you say the rent growth and value growth have exceeded your expectations, I would love to have you respond as to how that is possibly the case. 

Since then, my cabins have tripled in value - worth easily $800K or more, and have produced $696,XXX in rents.  

This amounts to lost opportunity because if you had purchased RE, at the closing it can start producing return. 5) ADUs detract from the existing structure whether this is privacy, a garage, or just yard space. 6) this is related to number 1, but there are many more buyers looking to purchase homes for their family than there are RE investors looking to purchase small unit count properties.
