I do agree that I think they're having growing pains, but unfortunately that isn't the kind of thing I can afford to just accept when I'm choosing a company to go with.

I’m curious: are others who house hack buying homes they can just barely afford, or are you sticking closer to the ~30% housing rule and using house hacking income as an added bonus?

@Adedayo Adetunji understand your frustration with the situation!

@Zach Howard I am working on a how-to book on Creative Financing now (I am the author of BP's book on Mid Term Rentals) because when I was teaching myself I was frustrated at the lack of clear instruction.

Housing is still affordable compared to other markets, which keeps renters and investors coming.

I mean, he probably wouldn't describe it that way, but that's what he was doing.It takes time to grow organically, and it is frustrating and painful at times.

My biggest frustration isn't with the deal failure itself, it's more with the operating performance of the GP and honestly I'm not sure how an LP can really determine this.

How do I access a portion of that equity to fund the purchase of 1-2 more MFR properties in more affordable markets like OH, IN, MI, PA, TN, or AL?

The biggest question you need to ask yourself is if you are doing this to afford a property you otherwise couldn’t afford or to save money period, that will lead to very different conclusions about where/if to buy. 

We’ve been trying to onboard with AppFolio for the past two months, but the process has been incredibly frustrating.
