Yea things continued to get interesting today as they basically completely dodged all prior commitment to get the work done and basically said they verbally asked the engineer to 'start working on the septic design' as a favor to any potential buyers but never had any intentions to pay for it. 

Managing it yourselves can save money, but it's a time commitment.

Trying to get a feel for whats considered market for a commercial placement (as a % of commitment due at closing).  

You only have one commitment, the other one is still negotiating so thats not a completed/accepted tenancy

If you aren't able to commit the time to it, then you'll either need to hire a PM (which will eat away at cash flow) or devout time to make it stand out2) The STR market is still alive and active, but those investors who are not putting effort into their properties may start to suffer3) If you need to hire a PM, making sure you have a quality one is important (and not being afraid to move on from one that isn't performing well)Thanks for everyone's comments thus far!

Hi Josselyn,That's a tough situation to be in, but I admire your commitment to rectify the situation not just for yourself but for your tenants as well.

If you're committed to maintaining your property and navigating the administrative processes, Section 8 can be a financially and socially rewarding investment.I hope this helps, and best of luck with your decision!

Hey Mary,It's not rude at all, and it makes sense that you want to see before you decide to commit.

@Alexander WardellBefore you commit to any money clear the planning and zoning, some local issues like fire marshal have a lot of requirements I looked at this a few months ago and the city requires a zoning petition taking months .
