We purchased our laundromat in a safe, middle class neighborhood.

From a risk point of view, there is no real middle class and a very small upper class.

But it sounds like they are just positioning themselves in the middle of your 'deal gone bad' to make some money for themselves.  

It’s like a scene out of a zombie movie as these people stagger down the middle of the street to the liquor store on the corner past my house.

That pace feels pretty good to me...I can get past the "rookie mistake" phase of my career before there is investor money on the line, and I can "fail small" because SFRs and small multifamily doesn't hurt as much as larger properties when things go wrong.Timing had a role, too.

I am in the middle of finishing 2 flips there and have 2 long term Holds there as well. 

Offering 50% of the cleaning fee for cancellations within 48 hours seems like a fair middle ground.You might want to set up a clear policy with her going forward so everyone’s on the same page for situations like this.

We aim to bring buildings and properties back to their heyday, at the same time providing affordable and middle income rental housing.

However, if I had started off with a house hack, I could have lower my monthly mortgage tremendously which would have helped me build up my savings at a much quicker pace than I had.

I'm in the middle of a BRRRR too and I chose to have Sherwin Williams color match "inchyra blue" for walls I usually just go with Behr but with cabinets, will be so much easier if you have high quality paint!
