They are making all kinds of excuses now that they've been 'caught with their pants down'....I saw a few minutes ago that January is the month they 'test their hydrants'.

Alternatives include Stessa (free) and Buildium (more robust, pricier).For testing, a phased approach is generally best.

I'm skeptical but I'm willing to test the water to something small first.

•Run your numbers conservatively and stress-test your investment.Lastly, I’d reconsider Section 8 (S8) for your first deal.

Financing- build a relationship with a regional banker, don’t shop for interest rates, start small and build history and loyalty they are your team, Cross collateralize, deposit CD/MM or custodial account with bank for loan, give them monthly updates, nail your deal analysis, do stress tests on your deal analysis-cost/interest rate/deal length/ sale price etc. 12.

It's still important for each individual to test the software platforms to see which one they prefer.

Researched, test drove for a weekend, comfortable with buying it.

Just keep an eye on how both markets are performing, and maybe start small, like taking out $50k, so you can test the waters without over-leveraging.

The sustainability test is that 3/4 of units need to cover 75% of the mortgage from my understanding.

At that point we tested the waters and gave them the option to keep the money or to reinvest it in another property.
