Toby, Maybe in your state they return it to tenant, but that seems reckless on old manger's part. 

All our properties currently yield over 6.5% gross return, with a borrowing rate at 6.5% and 20% deposits.

I'm trying to help other people understand that making their rentals sustainable could actually enhance their returns quite a bit, and help the planet.

It can be quite intriguing and interesting to hear of many of these returns and great on paper assessments, but the reality is, they rarley pan out in real life. 

I am from TN and the real estate here has gotten too pricey to produce the returns I am looking for.

Now, granted I'm biased, but let’s do a comparison of potential returns between Pittsburgh and Mesa/Gilbert AZ using a $400K property example and forecasted appreciation over the next decade.

The sooner you invest, the more time you have to benefit from compounding returns and property appreciation.Key Lesson #2: Leverage Financing Wisely Using my VA loan was one of the best financial decisions I made, but I didn’t fully understand the power of leveraging financing at first.

I then want to have a virtual meeting with the GP who will actually be overseeing the daily operations.One of the projects is already stabilized and the GP is looking to sell; should have a significant amount of capital returned. 

but it sounds like your mind is made up on this mentor.. flipping right now is a pretty tough gig for a beginner depending on market. very low inventory then sky high rates for your buyers. so use caution be careful also make sure you have a GREAT RE Broker who knows the values and what you should and shouldn't do in the rehab to maximize your returns. these things are very market specific U simply need to make sure your matching what is expected in the market you choose.. 

Keep in mind @Mario Morales that they take premiums, invest them so there is a profit component on invested returns, and hence amplifies how far the $ can spread on payouts. less than stellar returns and expanding claims, yes, rising premiums is a certainty.
