You bet we doEveryone makes mistakes and especially those that put in the effort.We always do our best by every investor and have their best interests at heart at any given moment.As you once told me.

Your best bet would be to do a short-term rental in the ski area, but you want it to be one that is solid off-season as well.

The PM doesn't seem to be doing a good job of screening tenants and with multi unit buildings if one tenant gets away with not paying the rent, you can bet they talk to the others who then do the same.

If you are looking to tap into equity of an existing rental property, your best bet is either cash out refi using DSCR loan or 2nd equity loan.

If you're at a loss and paying off the shortage still puts you at a loss I think your best bet is selling, or seeing how you can get more income from current rents by making it mid term/seasonal or an air bnb. 

If I have a buyer client who has contractually agreed to whatever fee we discussed, and they are interested in an off market property, you bet I will attempt to save my client money by negotiating all or some of my compensation from the seller. 

City websites are a great bet.

The numbers on the deal are below:-$6100 PITI (5% down owner occupied)-$2600-$2800 monthly rent per unit-Off market deal near Richardson High School-Both units fully renovatedI would essentially be betting on the long term appreciation of the DFW real estate market as well as long term rent growth.

Your best bet is to find a commercial broker and form a referral relationship with him. 

BTW I would bet the tenant is lying.
