Hi Jeff, I guess I was too ashamed to of fell a victim to a rouge property management company and home owners local scam that this is over, Let me just clarify things a little, I was going to invest some monies I came into in a residential property and with he belief that a good deal on a home along with the turning of the tide in so far as property values going up, I gained a good chance at getting into a home with a 5 year time plan to invest in its value, upgrades and savings on rental money I would have been throwing away, lead me to a deal i found on craigslist, seemed all legit, licensed agent, under a licensed broker seemed ok..a purchase of a home for a $3,500 down payment $300 over rental market monthly and the owner caring in his name until I placed in my sons name as we were planning on entering first time home buyers with his unblemished credit and his job history and monthly take home with no credit or no bad credit he was the perfect candidate  for the program and I informed the agent of all these deals before and she came back in agreement to my 1 year maximum time down from the advertised 3 year agreement...I said we would start this purchase within the next few months and she new this and said owner agreed to it and proceeded to send me the contract to sign, and I had already seen the example contract posted on this website that craigslist directed you to look over before calling..and I did..I examined the contract and determined it was what I wanted , an contract to purchase not a rent to own rental...There was an actual purchase agreement on line...and when I was signing this contract electronically, it appeared same, in every way, the places that required input were highlighted in red. so that looked to be the only changeable places and they were as stated.Only later when they began the hounding constant pressing, the owner popped up on my email afterwards, they wanted payment for everything under the son, I mean everything even when i learned the owner turned the power on the same day i was to move in, and the agreement said it would be on for 5 days before we have to transfer service service, i transferred service same day, took the 5 days to complete and i sear the first month I was hit with a bill for $890 additional monies and it wouldn't stop.

I think your returns highlight the point, unless you can use significant leverage, buy and hold real estate , provides a return that is so, so. comparable with long term returns in stocks and other investments.It's the leverage available, that makes it appealing.If you leverage your cash, and buy right, with a 1.5+ percent monthly rent/purchase.You can get returns on your cash of 15-25 percent.That's where it gets interesting.

Do it matter of factly and non-confrontational, highlight the date/time you noticed the problem, when you originally communicated it, and who you communicated it to on that date.
