@Greg Abel I think it's important to consider the long-term, as changing property management software is difficult.

You will have a very difficult time finding a lender.

While personal loss is difficult and understandable, running a business that directly impacts property owners requires a contingency plan.

It is true that it’s not difficult to do if you know what you’re doing, and you can make a lot of money.

At the beginning, it may be difficult to get a more expensive property that will appreciate well and so your choice is go with the cheaper property and get cash flow until you can sell and upgrade, or wait for a really good deal which you may be waiting for quite a while and its possible that you will have spent so much time waiting that you could have purchased multiple cash flowing properties by the time you get a good appreciation deal that you can qualify for / refinance after the rehab. i know anyone can go out and get seller financing deals, HML, flip to build capital or whatever the case may be I am just saying sometimes those will be harder and could result in less deals overall. 

Now, if management is too difficult, or the numbers do not work for you, I am all for moving on and investing elsewhere. 

The requirements are often difficult, if not impossible to achieve in conjunction with other site requirements such as the setbacks and required outdoor area.

While these technically exist, these are typically difficult to execute and are very expensive.

Ultimately, it's difficult to confirm the identity of the borrower. 

It was also difficult to assess the heating situation after repairs since tenant refused to provide key to access unit for repairs and/emergencies, citing “privacy and safety” concerns.
