Franklin I'm looking at a similar situation for a client currently in Yucaipa, CA.

Similarly if you feel the material pricing is marked up by too much, that's similarly a red flag.

This is similar to how a traditional mortgage works when a bank requires an escrow account.

But it sounds like you might have had a similar headache of your own.

Similarly, every property has unique characteristics.

Books/internet/people you know who have done something similar. 

Similarly, if you put all Class D tenants in a Class A 4-plex, what do you think will happen?

I have heard great things about Padsplit though, it's a similar model.

Since I'm really busy with my job, I've been strongly considering paying off each one aggressively, which would increase cash flow by 2k which would be similar to owning another 5 units, but without the headache of 5 more tenants and the issues that inevitably arise with owning more properties. 

Does anyone have a similar experience?
