Initially, the business was cash-flow positive for the first three months, but things have declined since then.I received several negative reviews due to cleaning issues, and it took me over a year—cycling through multiple cleaners and settling for an average one—before finally hiring a great cleaner.

By the time I got to the closing table, instead of me bringing a check, they gave me a check.Fast forward to today, it has more than doubled from appreciation and cash flows a ton, and I was able to get a great property manager in there to handle EVERYTHING.

at least its moving along finally. 

After watching my wife, son and I build our 8locations over the last 7 years, he finally got the itch and saidhey, help me get started.Already posted theprocess he went through on another post developing the location.

Then on the other hand I am worried that I may be leaving some money on the table if the value going to go up in that market.  

This is when the tables turn to you restructuring the contracts you have with them or really going out on your own completely.

I was going to use Kiavi, but apparently I do not have a consumer profile and lexisnexis has to locate it and this can take a while and I have a deal on the table that I do not want to lose.Please advise.Thanks!

The people who actually have an incentive to ensure you make it to the closing table are all telling you 5% down conventional, maybe there's a reason for it.

Final comment, it seems complex.
