Not a good business model, IMO.

My program models the "BRRRR" strategy that you might have read about on BP. 

Here are what I can add to the  BP table:- I built a comprehensive apartment investing excel model - buy and hold and refinance- Extensive deal/ financial analysis skills and experience.- Extensive work experience in wealth management, tax, private deal structure.- Success track record, creative problem solving, and great eyes for beauty in making ugly place beautiful while not spending a ton of money upgrading.- Since 2002, experience in SFH purchase, buy and hold, remodeling, property management.What gets me going:- Folks with track record in apartment investing to check out my financial model on this deal- Local Chicago Team with proven track record in apartment: contractor /inspector (subcontractor - plumbing, electrical, roof, exterior, interior upgrading), property managementThank You!

For my day job I do financial modeling and consulting for billion dollar companies which has turned me into an excel ninja.

My wife and I plan on doing the same type of live in/flip/rent model that y'all did.  

The waters were already muddy.The current re-modelers policy is in the name of the LLC, not my personal name.  

Just be cognizant that the 10-75 unit apartment space (pick your unit range) does not have a 3rd party management model that is dedicated to it in many markets.  

It is definitely a viable business model.

But, assuming the business model isn't inherently flawed, with the right amount of hard work, knowledge and working capital, you should be able to survive and even thrive.  

Boarding lots of pets is a different business model than human residential housing.Sorry to hear about this situation.
