ESS told us to “just do our best,” and that was a collective big fat NO. 

Our plan is to save up and learn as much as we can in the meantime.I am in accounting and he is a class B truck driver who is looking to purchase his own truck to become an owner operator and pull in more cash than he can as only an operator.

If I could add to Jeffery's post, i'd say that the first steps i'd say is to always be learning, read and study as much as you can in your free time.

With my income soon to be at 3x my expenses I am looking forward to a life of Fat FIRE starting in 2020. 

You could get some fat shaved off that on your next dealings with them .

Purchase price: $178,000 Cash invested: $100,000 Sale price: $322,500 Fix and flip, the investor got fat on this one because it was a year project and we paid him 10% APR.

if there is no cross collateral  you can in most states just sue on the note but if the LLC has no assets its a waste of money and probably best to try to limp along with the guy if he will pay..  

Since there is a lot of fat on the bone due to the mismanagement, the NOI is not the only value determinant...especially in this market.

You also have to try to build as much as you can in the factory.
