@Robin Ji I like to use IRR  (well really MIRR) or Capital Accumulation Comparison since they are the only calculations that allows you to capture all four of the wealth generators in RE.

Yes, that's brutal, but you don't need more smoke-n-mirrors, you need a reality check.

Anyway, as I stated before, the moment a problem was identified we fixed it with minimal push back, if any.As for why we believe the pool company owner over the landlords, we did not initially.We almost fired the pool company last week because we thought they were not being responsible and following the instructions we had laid out for them.However, then the landscaper incident happened and we started to question things more.We talked with the landscaper and got his story of how he was treated by the tenant which mirrored what the pool company said.I then called the pest control company we use who is also servicing the tenants home (at their expense).I wanted to inquire about how they are treated by the tenants.The pest control owner initially did not want to badmouth his other customer, but eventually did tell me that there have been a few incidents where the tenant treated his technician poorly and demanded more work be done after he had left.After talking with 3 separate contractors who don’t know each other at all I have painted a pretty good picture of who the tenants are and how they treat people.

Quality of rent poolDo you want your manager to just rent to anyone who can fog a mirror just ot make sure they get paid?

Sometimes you can see the spray pattern in the glass under bright sunlight.So what should I use that won't leave marks on glass and wing mirror even after washing it off?

The person you ultimately hire needs to be more than someone who can fog a mirror - they are the most important factor in whether your rental is successful long term or not.First, I'd start with asking for referrals, and you want to call at least 3 and ask them about their experience.

This leads to the "investor friendly" lender we all hope to find.Also, 100% LTV is dreamland, smoke and mirrors stuff, especially in MFUs.  

@Mike LightcapTypically you want to mirror what banks and real estate agents do in the state where the property is located.
