We placed our biggest bet on a single property, class B shares.

Clearly, shes not happy and an unhappy tenant usually results in more issues down the road, and you can bet they'll be expensive issues. 

My friend Dylan Marma would be a solid bet and I'd be happy to make an intro.Using leverage to scale, such as borrowing against this cash for larger down payments?

I bet you didn't just buy a property like that. 

However, i've never really seen the logic in taking those paths when you can just take the safe and slow approach. 

I believe ARV will be higher than this but starting at 800k is a safe and conservative number. 

I'll definitely play it safe.

I bet you heard but the market around those areas are booming right now, especially since it is a buyers market, it gives you an advantage to get better deals from sellers while people are continously moving there, especially for jobs like tech, logistics, etc. 

There's likely some good lessons he's learned that you may heed I'm not betting against you, but it seems like it could be a massive problem snowballing in the future.

agree .. other wise its just the bottom feeders looking to take his equity from him  with couching it as a rescue.. his best bet it to sell if its owner occ the profit is tax free .. regroup and start over..
