Of course most GPs have personally put in money to keep the deals from sinking.

If there are pets in the unit take a pan from under the sink and fill it with water so there's something to drink.

They would rather keep their house than sell it.Let that sink in.

Clogged toilets, sinks, etc.

It usually sinks in a lot more when I experience it versus just hearing it in a book or podcast.

I have a lot sinking in right now so im very appreciative for the help you guys have offered.

And no matter what, keep an eye on how your financing structure lines up with your exit strategy.Where do you see the biggest risk.. sinking money into improvements or letting the buy back linger too long?

I have a second condo property where the water quality became unacceptable (PFAS) so I put a filter on the sink and make people aware the fridge water no longer works.

Upon inspection, the pest control company found holes in the walls under the kitchen and bathroom sinks.

I already have money left in the property and hesitant on sinking anymore in.  .If there isn't much equity, and there is so much to fix to make it livable, why not do a "deed in lieu" with your lender and move on with life?
