GP's typically have to put skin on the game.

The handyman would reach out to the tenant to coordinate availability, then coordinate with you on the issue and fixes needed.The Smart locks are a game changer.

So its a give & take game. 

The further you get into the deal the more skin in the game you end up having so it just makes sure you see the project through so you recoup the time and cash invested. 

Lots of people either rush in to quick or don't ever get in the game.

Don't play the blame game.

Thank you Nick - unfortunately it is the name of the game in this space that there will be people with bad experiences, typically when the appraised value doesn't come in as what they expect and they lash out at the lender accordingly (anyone in this space obviously understands this occurrence). 

It's a relationship game more than anything, so if you're building strong relationships with them and providing a consistent product, you'll be golden.

Keep in mind of the I/O(payments/period) and game plan on how fast you'd like to pay it down. 

I added arcade games, board games and accept pets as well.
