We did not know what kind of DIY fixes they tried before a plumber was sent out to look at and/or fix the issue so are not sure if something with that caused odor to worsen. 

I see that kind of structure (maybe different splits or thresholds) with first time LPs - it's generally simpler and easier to understand.

Go dabble in other asset classes they know almost NOTHING about to then blend a portfolio to entice investment.Personally if I lost that kind of money for investors I would not be able to sleep at night.

What kinds of deals do you prefer?

My mortgage increased earlier this year as my home owners insurance went up due to the company closing and my escrow didn’t have enough to make up the difference so I’m kind of pay check to pay check right now.

This is the kind of advice I was looking for.

In my experience, a property with multiple cottages and outbuildings can provide all kinds of creative strategies...some folks try short-term rentals or even specialized retreats if local regulations allow.

Any kind of non QM financing will have higher closing costs compared to conventional.

Based on my previous investing history (completely unrelated to real estate), I would describe myself as a buy-and-hold kind of guy.

It seemed that just having some kind of communication back to the resident right away was better than them leaving a voicemail.
