One way would be to get the real estate under contract, then bring an experienced partner in who also has access to capital, and stay in the deal as a minority equity partner.

I would get more details on the numbers and go through it with an experienced investor. 23% expense ratio is laughable for any apartment building, let alone an old class c product.

Their target audience are professionals with cash don't don't have the time or desire to become educated and are willing to pay/forgo some revenue for a experienced investment relations firm. 

Hey Cameron, for experienced investors I can lend up to 100% of the purchase and rehab costs on 1-4 unit properties.

I would recommend to partner up with an experienced investor to really solidify your numbers.

Those things won't matter if your business crushes it.

After own a few and experienced can try some flips.

Tenants will push and try to get everything they can from their landlord.Seems you've done everything possible to be reasonable, yet the tenant is not satisified and wants more.As already stated, you are too much of a pushover, so the tenant is seeing how much farther they can push you.Highly advise you to find an experienced residential landlord-tenant attorney ASAP.

Keep sharing your experience :D

That’s how the wealthy do it with real estate or businesses.
