I have a small multi family (26 units) in southeast Michigan that we purchased from a burned out owner almost two years ago.

It burns up my buyers emotional equity. 

Higher than ~6% mortgage rate, 7-10% unemployment companies will step on the brake to stop burning money. 

I've decided to stick it out for at least 6 months before trying to transfer and a year before quitting so as not to burn any bridges.

I tried something like this with a girlfriend who is now an (ex) and got burned but I think the personal relationship was the mistake in that deal.  

@Andy D.yes have tenants send you pictures of their utility bills- if you explain to them the purpose of why you are having MassSave come by and its helpful to them since they bring in LED lights, which will last and not burn out quickly 

The way I see it is that renting a house is basically burning money. 

I agree 100%—— I just had a DOOMSDAY investor saying the market is going to crash and burn next yr, and wanted to cut my fee’s because his bank raised his interest rate to 6%.

Burning one parties car was the way one of the parties involved decided to handle the situation.Best part about the car fire was one of the parties forgot which car was owned by the tenant.
