Now take a vacation recuperate and then go back in lol

@Sy Chan I highly doubt that you can raise the rent, mid lease, in order to recuperate your costs.

Prices have gone up and beyond at this point so I do not really anticipate much return bur rather, just recuperate some operating costs. 

Also, make sure that at their yearly inspection they have NOT damaged screens as you will have to replace them, paint walls if they are super dirty as the section 8 inspections may cite you for that.Type 3 tenants took us a while to recuperate from.

I have friends whom during the past 4 years acquired several properties out of state with great rates but have had at least one discussion about listing their investment homes, and my presumption is that if not for their 4% rate, they might look to recuperate and reallocate some of their investment and profit.

If we sell, do I recuperate my initial investment and then we split the profits 75%/25% ?

If you want to attempt to recuperate some of what you paid, I would bring all the documentation you have to a lawyer and see what your best options are.

@Taylor Robertson the recuperation calculation up there ^^ from @Reid Chauvin is fantastic for seeing cost vs benefit tangibly. 

I look forward to hearing from the community and learning about your experiences.For reference: I can recuperate 100% of my cash invested with 75% of the property's value.  

My goal is to recuperate as many turnover costs as I can for my investors, and the non-refundable fees definitely help with that!
