Like you, I worked hard for what I have (after grad school other than a rental I bought and a small retirement savings, I had barely anything in the bank). 

Let's face it, all OOS investors do is close. 

Lots of headwinds facing real estate, like the following: Inflation Consumer Debt Lack of consumer liquidity-- renters don’t have first and last month’s rent, let alone a down payment to buyOwners interest-rate lockedOversupply of class A multifamilyStagnation of rent growth on assets aggressively underwritten at acquisition Maturation of term debt combined with stagnant rent growth against a backdrop of rising debt rates =investors unable to meet basic debt coverage service ratios on refinance Market normalization forcing operators and investors to rely on market fundamentals (recently) forsaken, while prioritizing expediency of deploying capitalInstitutional and local investors are both frozen by volatility and cost of capital and debtAll that being said, we feel good about B and C class assets we focus on and the markets we are in. let's connect soon 

It needs to be handled the right way.If you are going to shove your license and all these documents in their face, you will simply make them think...

I would say the messageboard is pretty bare.

Hey everyone,I'm facing a bit of a challenge and could really use some advice.

My intention is not to boast but to inspire and share the significant impact that BiggerPockets, especially Joshua Dorkin and Brandon Turner, have had on my life.I first encountered BiggerPockets at 23 while enduring long 14+ hour days as a pipe fitter on hydroelectric dams in northern Manitoba, working 21 days on and 5 days off shift schedules.Although I was earning well for my age and educational background (I barely graduated high school), the job was unfulfilling and almost toxic, mainly because of the dynamics with the associates in the industry.

If the wiring is nonmetallic cable (romex - plastic looking outside layer of insulation) and has a ground wire (3rd wire, bare copper) it might be fine to keep.

Lies, lack of integrity, zero communication, mismanagement, poor workmanship and greed barely scratches the surface.

I guess you could risk it and then beg for forgiveness but at that point you have lost face and trust of your Banker.
