I told him that if we can hang on and break even right now, then that's a win. 

Ask the tenant to come up with a reasonable offer based on the data so you can work together to keep them there.Almost all tenants come in $100-$150 under the market rate.It's a win-win.

A lot of time you won't, therefore you also have to evaluate your marketing/sales strategy to partner yourself up with the right property owners that everyone wins in the end. 

If you see multiple posts a day, it's definitely worth speaking up about like @Nathan Gesner mentioned.At the end of the day, these "trolls, the cut and pasters, and AI posters" don't win in the long term....All sites or groups that grow experience the same issues with moderation (see Facebook groups), but VAs can't moderate because they are doing a letter of the law thing and not reading these garbage posts for what they are - spam, AI, number puffing, and cut and pasting, self-promo.

My goal is a win-win situation, and it's basically for him to do owner financing and rent. 

I know that a ton of people will win with the approach you are contemplating taking - in taking a HELOC out for the down payment on an investment property. 

Some will assist with down payments or closing costs and only require you watch some videos to become a better informed buyer, so win-win.

and do you know if they came back to the states.. that will be a HUGE win for anyone who is litigating against them .. at least right up until they file BK.

@Carrie Lane you'd have to prove the PMC directed the pest company to add the screens.Otherwise, you'd have to go after the pest company.Not sure what you would actually win to make it cost effective.

It first appraised for $330k which I challenged as I had better comps, but it's rare to win one.
