I allowed my aggravation at the "shoulder-shruggers" to cloud my strategy.

This is going to put a ridiculous amount of risk on your shoulders, especially in a post covid world where moratoriums are the norm.

I was around 16 when I first calculated my net worth.I shoveled snow (I actually looked forward to a big storm and was up at the crack of dawn with a shovel on my shoulder and wasn't back home until dark), cut grass, raked leaves, etc.). 

Because we are shouldering the risk, we require a substantial down payment and interest rate from our end buyer.

Some PMs would simply add a 10% surcharge on that $388 bill and shrug their shoulders when you questioned the high bill. 

I certainly don't need to be there watching over their shoulders but occasionally it's a good thing.

So I guess that's one benefit, that the shoulder season is a little shorter there as most ski areas are dead Mid-April through May.Like others have said though, the numbers have to work and those don't look great. 

You have a huge chip on your shoulder.

When a tenant is in arrears, they should be checking more frequently ... and they should have never allowed them to get "several months" behind.IMHO, the PM company should be embarrassed about dropping the ball and offer to shoulder some of the pain (if they have in-house trades/staff, they could provide the labour at very little cost to themselves).  

And ~ I hurt my shoulder, being careful and all.
