@Chris Mahoo many new investors don't take the time to properly understand RE investing.1) Many are using approaches from 2010-2018 when Class A property prices were so low from the Great RE Crash that an investor could cashflow and get pretty easy Class A tenants to manage.2) If you look at what investors were doing before 2008-2010, most were buying Class B & C rentals.To make it worth while, an investor either needs to Fix & Flip or invest & hold rentals for 10+ years.- Over a 10 year period cashflow will increase as rents increase (rents typically rise faster than property taxes, insurance, etc.)- The property should be appreciating, if purchased in a good location, increasing the owner's equity/wealth.- Rents will be paying the mortgage off, increasing the owner's equity/wealth.- If you hold a rental until death, you can pass it on with a stepped-up cost basis, limiting captial gains if then sold (limited by inheritance tax limitations).Too many newbies on this site trying to replace their day job income via "passive" real estate investing w/o digging deep enough to understand how it really works.

Start by serving proper notice of the management change and request payment details.

On the other hand I don’t want to be cheap and losing money in the long run bc I’m not properly fixing things.

According to your profile, you'd be a representative of a Mexican real estate agency I'd never heard of, even though I've been investing in Mexico since 2017 so I googled the name you give and, surprisingly, I didn't find a proper website, just an influencer-like Instagram account.

For property management, I am personally a fan of managing your first property (with proper education or mentorship before beginning) since this is where you will learn first hand what is required in managing a tenant.

While rates for the new loan will be higher, keeping your existing loan intact on the remaining balance preserves that low-cost debt.Use the equity to purchase properties in higher cash-flow markets while retaining ownership of your Bend property.1031 Exchange:If you do sell, a 1031 exchange allows you to defer capital gains taxes by reinvesting the proceeds into like-kind properties.

So, they got taken advantage of.4) They didn't do enough research on comparable properties before doing repairs - so went either overboard or slumlord, instead of properly Maintaining to the Neighborhood.The other challenge we encounter often is investors expecting perfection.

Its a pleansant afternoon with proper ear protection :)Have you seen the ammo vending machines? 

that we’ve learned in our 24 years, managing almost 700 doors across the Metro Detroit area, including almost 100 S8 leases:Class A Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, 3-5 years for positive cashflow, but you get highest relative rent & value appreciation.Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, 5% the more recent norm.Tenant Pool: Majority will have FICO scores of 680+ (roughly 5% probability of default), zero evictions in last 7 years.Class B Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, decent amount of relative rent & value appreciation.Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, 5% should be applied only if proper research done to support.Tenant Pool: Majority will have FICO scores of 620-680 (around 10% probability of default), some blemishes, but should have no evictions in last 5 yearsClass C Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, high cashflow and at the lower end of relative rent & value appreciation.

I have about 10-20 with a $4,000 balance now on a $1000 month rent, more with 2 months balance...
