Setting clear expectations can help you pretty much everywhere as well.

Because, when you understand what to expect, you can plan ahead.

I learned that with an A-Class tenant expectations are higher and had to step up my level of service.

Everything resolved as good as could be expected w/o court (albeit full renovation was needed.)

We invested $55,000 in key renovations, focusing on modernizing the interiors, improving curb appeal, and ensuring the property met market expectations.

Or try the reverse - rehab a property to Class A standards in a Class D neighborhood and try to get a Class A or B tenant to rent it.Unfortunately, many newbie real estate investors are jumping into buying affordable Class C rentals - expecting Class A results.

It can also be an opportunity to discuss house rules and expectations to ensure you're on the same page.While being cost-conscious is understandable, investing a little upfront for proper screening can save you a lot of trouble in the long run.

That depends - if its a short term hard money loan possibly, but expect to pay more for it.I would first ask your current lender if you can extend the loan.

Then you expected them to change?

It may feel cumbersome, but their diligence reflects the level of security and service you can expect once onboarded.
