Definitely not willing to put money into something like this and potentially worsen our situation.  

Paulette, it is good to call out these bad contractors and unfortunately you are caught in a bad situation on what to do, start by a small threat that you will contact the BBB and report a claim if he does not show some progress, or if you know an attorney, maybe a simple letter from one may get him worried and he may start showing up.

Water is now leaking through the ceiling into my tenant's unit, and it's worsening with every rain also the neighboring unit has sever water damage (like a pool inside and it is owned by the HoA) and water from it leaking very dirty water from the shared wall to mine.

VERY cool strategy and progression story.

My personal preference for a buy and hold would be an already established area (or an area that's still gentrifying, but has already seen significant progress). 

It’s not just awkward—it can jeopardize trust, relationships, and, ultimately, the deal itself.Here’s how we ensure success:1️⃣ Weekly Syncs: Regular team check-ins to align on progress and updates.2️⃣ Shared Systems: Use tools like Slack or Asana for real-time collaboration.3️⃣ Transparency is Key: If you don’t know, say so.

Wishing you the best as you navigate your journey—I’m confident you’ll make great progress! 

We did not know what kind of DIY fixes they tried before a plumber was sent out to look at and/or fix the issue so are not sure if something with that caused odor to worsen. 

Another key change is making sure your contractor actually sticks to completion deadlines...why, because of how extremely tedious permit inspectors are getting in some cities, which can slow progress in and of itself.

We are not the right choice for everyone, but we do help hundreds of investors every year start and progress their investing goals.
