The tackling on defense was absolutely horrible.

Horrible based on the 2% rule!

I require my tenants to have renter's insurance and tell them when I explain the lease that they should ensure that they have a loss of use rider if they do not have sofas to use.Each state is different (sidelong glance out west to CA) so check state laws, but for mine it is their responsibility to cover alternate living arrangements.Best of luck and it sounds like a horrible management company.

When I first saw your post I was thinking, "Oh this is a really nice thing to do, but a horrible idea".

It is a horrible disease and if it goes full blown (the day you close), you'll suffer sleepless nights, stress, lots of depressing road trips to your project, lost capital, and most likely be stuck with a rental house you won't want to own.

Horrible UI and not intuitive at all.

I'm working on 2 at the moment, it's been smooth, what hasn't been smooth are the contractors, I'm behind schedule because of a horrible GC that set me back big time but still no problems with the land bank as long as you keep them updated on what's going on.

I am focusing on an area of scottsdale that I would describe as the proverbial pimple on the proverbial backside of my part of town.  

I forgot to mention that I did a simple google search on this company/ owner and saw nothing but horrible reviews of people who got taken for thousands up front.

If you have a great house and horrible tenants, LOOK OUT, you are in trouble.....Good luck..
