if you have another investment opportunity ahead then why not cut your losses, sell for what you can and move on to the next opportunity? 

I'm interested in discussing cutting-edge techniques that professionals are using to adapt to the current market trends.Some areas of interest include:Technology Integration: How are you incorporating new technologies like AI, VR, or blockchain in your day-to-day operations?

Even when I have been bluntly scammed, I would take full responsibility and just move on.

Why not get yourself 5% or better vs cutting in the "bank".

Back when you were a rookie and you made your first big dumb mistake — was there was somebody who put you on the right path without cutting you down or being flippant?

I have heard so many stories just like this from people who have purchased from turnkey companies.The refi is one way, but you'd have to have a big rate cut to free up $450 (unless this is a high-priced property).

Contractor: Finding contractors that don't cut corners and overcharge is EXTREMELY difficult.

Cutting corners in this area is not advisable.

Even if you just do it in the short term, then maybe you'd save 10% there and be efficient enough to cut your vacancy % down to 5?

I'll let a broker do that and earn a cut for their efforts.
