Your comment is another tic in favor of "pump the brakes and see what happens."

Doing the work myself (and using tips and trick to get high quality materials at a discount) should let me brake even.

I did replace brakes after driving it about 10,000 miles, mainly because I was using the truck to tow a chipper... so more preventative maintenance than anything. 

Way to stay focused by not giving up on your goals and being persistent.Being married and the spouse is not on board or just not being very supportive can be like driving with your brakes on making it very difficult to impossible to accomplish things.

If you hold it for years to come then after market correction it will again start appreciating.

Now the fed choose to press the brake as inflation is sticky at 3%, we would see what's going in 2025.but from the fed mandate to reduce inflation, they want the rent growth to be flattened, so they would sacrifice the CRE (aka equity ownership). this is way also why lp investor has to invest in common sense, if the boss want the rent to be reduced, don't go against the boss.... just don't invest.

refer to your lease if it has a lease brake clause send them a snap shot of it. you've done everything required of you as a landlord. at this point theyre just being bitchy and want you to compensate them and want an excuse to move. additionally read the local landlord tenant act.. it doenst say how hot or cold a unit has to be just that it has to be reasonable. 

We have no brake pedal on buying or problems with tied up funds etc. 

Once I figured that out early on in the discussion, that's when I had to pump my brakes, put it in reverse and remove myself from the conversation QUICKLY!!  

new construction there is a mandatory 1 year warranty by the builder by code in most states.then we buy the 2 10 as a parting gift.. home warrenties that you buy after market I suspect would not cover this.. regardless I would push back on this issue..
