Now my spring is also feeling slim compared to last year, but I’m trying to stay the course and be prepared for last minute bookings to fill the calendar.

As that is a tough pill to swallow (especially on the ego side), multiple investors are opting not to do this.

So, at this point it looks like the odds of getting a refund are slim.

PS - I am selling this property myself, so I feel that it is some small advantage that I can meet buyers on site and if they bring it up, then I will have a chance to explain it away...kinda....we'll see.PSS - There are only 3-4 neighbors that are seriously affected, so chance of getting a bunch of people a block away to get involved is slim.

You can try to use another lender, but they've basically built in a "poison pill" with the fluff built into the house to use their lender so they can make even more. 

It just so happens I am brand new so my network in multi-family real estate is slim to none.

The margins are slim, though.

The developer insures almost everything for 5, 10, and 15 years (Appliances, roof, plumbing.....)Since it all brand new, the chances of something breaking, needing repairs, fixes....are slim.

Chances are slim but can't hurt to ask. 

The labor and materials shortage has also made the process much harder and profit margins are very slim.
