Too many small business owners get caught up wanting to look the part and spend money on things that do nothing for creating profit.

Pest control varies in each state,, but I would call other owners to see what they are doing.

I can give you dozens of examples of owners who believed they could care for their property better than a stranger.

Also, we are one of the few (owners) who pick up the phone, especially after hours and weekends.Google search and ads are our main pull.

Are there no actual owners on BP? 

Second since I am a property owner myself and also own a PM company I try to look at it from different angles.If the tenant wants things fixed it many times means that they plan to stay in the property and since they are picky they tend to take care of the home more.

Has the city issued the owner a citation that the unit needs to be decommissioned?

As far as financing, I have considered  1) an FHA loan with a cosigner, and 2) going off market and approaching many owners about potentially seller financing.Any and all feedback, advice, and info on potential pitfalls would be appreciated!

It turns out I may have jumped the gun a bit, but thankfully, I managed to sort things out with the 3 girls, and we found a 4th roommate just in time for classes to start.

There are syndication/crowdfunding funds currently being launched now which intend to take over deals from syndicators/operators (where those same owners would otherwise have to turn the keys over to the bank).Generally the ones in trouble are those that structured too aggressively (high debt, floating rate, etc).
