With all that now I’m getting the ac don’t work again so I send out a ac tech I explain to them the the tenants are claiming that the ac isn’t cold enough that the Edison guy that took off the summer saver box off the ac fan told him the ac needs a Freon boost I’m really now the Edison guy is a ac tech the ac was running cold now it’s not working .well the ac tech did a leak test ,pressure test and said it was fine but it looks like it was tampered with he also said if there was a leak there wouldn’t be Freon in the system still so I payed him to fill it up since there was few pounds of Freon still in the system he also asked me when was the last time i serviced the ac I told him about a year ago .he said that long ago if there was a leak there would be nothing in the system so after paying a few hundred dollars ,now I get another call saying the ac is blowing hot air .so I send the ac guy back .the same ac guy said looks like it’s been tampered with.so now I decide to pay for home warranty insurance after the second repair and now the tenants threatened to sue me.for my fist rental this is a bad experience of tenants trying to scam me and the plumber his freind doing fraud.i later called the water company again spoke to the manager this time explained what going on.he said just tell the tenants to call and give a one time to talk about the bill that I don’t have to be on the account so i did they refused again.

IMHO, the housing authority is trying to bully you.I would lay out my argument to them, with comps, and be willing to tell them to pound sand if they can’t agree to a reasonable way to get you up to market rents.

Why do experienced investors JV on notes?
23 July 2018 | 28 replies
They then take those notes and package them with others from similar purchases and sell them along with their analysis to private investment funds.This leaves 45 notes from a package of 1,000 that three professional investment funds, doing intensive analysis by highly trained MBAs, have determined cannot yield even a minimal investment return.These are then offered to the individual investor, who according to those in the industry “with something to sell” (the leftover NPNs and/or “training”) can profit enormously by (1) making them re-performing notes or (2) foreclosing and selling the property for large profits.The pitch from those “with something to sell” is twofold: (1) “There is plenty of meat left on the bone” (actual quote), and (2) if you send the borrower a complete package of all docs, weighing, say, five pounds you will “shock and awe” him into paying on the note.I highly doubt either of these claims have even a micron of validity.The parties with a financial interest in you buying into this will cite isolated instances of great success, never mentioning the all-more-frequent instances of total failure.So at the end of the day the training promoters have collected up to $30,000 per person for their NPN “mentoring”/”coaching” program, the retail asset disposer has made 50% to 100% profit on their inventory, private middlemen have turned a $2,500 investment in a note into $16,000, and my sister-in-law who purchased 5 NPNs over three years ago and has spent large amounts on attorneys, taxes, and brokers has yet to see a penny in return.To paraphrase, if you don’t know who the sucker is in any ultra-high profit promise situation, it’s you.
