The thought also occurred to me that perhaps revenue/occupancy are not always the best indicators of a great investment.

Our work was inspected and they did not give any indication that the work done was the issue.

Researching and understanding market trends, rental demand, and economic indicators can inform your investment decisions.Keep refining your business operations and systems as you scale your portfolio.

And despite the higher rates this past year which deter many buyers, we *still* find ourselves in multiple offer situations, indicating we are still hot while many markets have long cooled.To illustrate, my team recently sold a home for $50k above the asking price after a successful open house with over 50 attendees, just a few days on market.

If they keep putting it on the ballot and spending over $10m to support it, law of averages will indicate it could eventually pass.

With Innago, for example, I uploaded my lease and indicated where my name, the tenant's name, checkboxes, etc need to be automatically filled.

And I would say I agree with your indicators.

I've been in REI a long time and have seen the good, the bad, and the ugly, but $60k of damage from one tenant indicates gross negligence on the part of the property manager.I'd suggest three things: 1) Study the contract you have with the PM company, and talk with your attorney ASAP to see whether a lawsuit is feasible/advisable, 2) Get at least three bids from other contractors on the repairs (and before you hire any contractors, study up thoroughly on how to properly vet and manage contractors--there's plenty of info about this on BP) 3) Don't do any more business with the PM company (or any contractors they refer), and keep them at arm's length while you discuss your legal options with your attorney.

However, the bank indicated they cannot finance the 6-unit property and I would need a commercial loan for it.

Transparency I’d look to outline, as if I proposed this JV, is clearly indicating whether I am profiting from the construction contract with any markup; how the budget/costs will be billed and transparent; and what the acceptable exit strategies would be (as I don’t know if the private loan has any security attached to it).
