Take advantage of the pooled resources you have at your disposal.

If you take another loan on it you're getting your 25k back plus 50k to work with - if someone told you that you only use your own money once, they were lying or using housing crash numbers. 

The investors can get back to whole, it’ll just take time.  

Quote from @Bailey Rentz: I've used Stessa for a couple years and I just can't take it anymore. 

Is there any legal action one can take or is it just a lost cause?

Grandpa and Grandma take five acres on the back forty and punch in a well and sewer (when it was cheap to do so), run some water and sewer lines with the old backhoe. 

But once I got the bills, I increased the rent with the tenant's approval and signed an addendum to the lease stating the rent increase would be X and the owner would take over utilities.

I thought I could take this opportunity and learn from it without having to buy property.

Can they prove how long it takes to rent a vacant property?

Thank you everyone for taking the time for the replies.
