What are your current goals or challenges in real estate?

Quote from @Augusta Owens: Hello all,I'm completely green when it comes to real estate, as in currently learning the terminology new.

From there, I would like to consider a 1031 exchange in the future to acquire more units.My current property management company suggested that they could handle a mid sized apartment building but I would absolutely not consider them for it as I believe they have overextended themselves and communication is lacking.

Analyze the WHY behind your current investors reasoning for not partnering up with you.

I'm building some currently (so obviously I think that works). 

I am kind of like you I don't like to have myself over-leveraged, I bought a trailer park and duplex in 2017 with 11 doors in total, currently looking at around $460k in mortgages, with about $90k in liquid savings and that is about as stretched as I want to be.

Currently, we manage approximately 40 short- and mid-term rentals, in addition to a few long-term properties.

Where are you currently? 

Learn the eviction procedure for your area, perhaps contact a lawyer in the field to help you with this one, and get the fraudster you're currently housing out on the sidewalk to sleep in a cardboard box where they belong.You're going to lose plenty of money here, but this will never happen to you again, and you can minimize your losses if you move as quickly as possible.

Hey Account Closed - I highly suggest  using a renovation loan and house hacking a multi-family if that is possible with your current life circumstances.The 203k and homestyle renovation loans are just amazing products and drastically help you reduce your risk, in my opinion, because you are able to leverage the cost of the entire renovation with such a low down payment loan.We work with a lot of clients who use these products in Chicago, and no matter what, in the long term, they gain great equity.If you aren't able to house hack - the process is essentially the same, but just with more money down with hard money or conventional construction loan.
