I had to reach out the PM(by email of course because reaching a live person is IMPOSSIBLE) I was told that apparently the tenant had an issue with their bank and would come in that evening with a money order(which they never did).

I am a buy and hold.In Lowell it is impossible to currently find a good deal on a 6 unit, one that generates a positive cash flow.Any recommendations on management companies, plumbers, builders, specific neighborhoods, past experiences( the good and the bad) or even on proving me wrong in my assessment of the area.Jay

If your contractor has equity in the deal, and doesn't perform, that can make it nearly impossible to fire him. 

I agree with this idea but again not practical because I wouldn't know how to afford the place if I have to remove the tenants to redo the building.Now... generally I've had an impossible time getting electricians out here due to busyness in general which I'm sure we all have trouble with.

At one time we were doing 9 projects at once, something that would have been impossible with the help of other people.Always run your numbers conservatively.

@Savannah Lewison its not impossible to cash flow but its not easy especially in a B or A market.

That would be impossible here in Seattle.

@Ethan Smith, yes, Greenwich has very low taxes, but the acquisition costs mean it's almost impossible to find properties that cash flow.

Refinancing seems almost impossible and I'm getting really high rates and only ably 65% LTV options w a 670 score Is there a workable option that can let me access my equity in a way that allows me to grow my business?

I called Wells Fargo, talked to a couple different agents, and the conclusion was that it is impossible to raise the limit.
