After assembling a lot of bed frames, I prefer the Zinus brand, and I would recommend contract grade furniture.Don't forget to sign up for pest control and both a renter's and landlord policy on your insurance.Hi Miguel - I’m also looking at the midtown  Sacramento area for multifamily…what is “contract grade” furniture please ?

@Justin Goodrich I can speak for a lot of investors and say our biggest problems are out of our control. 

Letting go of control into passive investing and being a money investor makes me nervous.

If your DTI is good, you can control a $1M asset for $50k. 

The PM dropped the ball by not doing more to control the situation.To answer Jordan's original question:Do you think that is fair - to be forced to pay for your manager's mistake?

I'm in a beach area where Sat to Sat rentals have been traditional for 100 years, but not any longer since the rise of Airbnb (and less control by local property management companies).

Otherwise, the DST fees eat up the tax Ruthie- Yes they are in control for when the property is sold.

Also, check if they have skin in the game (their own money invested), as it shows they’re confident in the deal and aligned with your interests.If you’re considering alternatives, REITs are fantastic for super-passive investors who want steady, low-effort returns—usually about 2 points above a savings account—but you lose tax benefits and control.

However, if you bought it and managed it as a market rate apartment, your experience would be very different.My point is, I can control how fast a unit turns simply by adjusting my asking rents.  

Now, youre under the gun on a refi needed to finance another purchase and the loan you were counting on isnt - and never was - available to you because of an error that wasnt caught due to a lack on internal quality control.
