I am unable to make a concrete decision until April-May anyway.

The cash in and the interest rate are not enough information to make a decision on.

We’ve made the decision that neither of us want to deal with an after hour emergency call from a tenant so we use a PM company.  

Both investors made the same decisions and bought similar deals. 

Investors should fully understand that Section 8 is not a cure-all for Class C & D tenant challenges, it's just trading one set of problems for another.We see too many investors not doing enough research to fully understand all this and making naïve investing decisions.

Buyback event is like a final decision of property owner to get the property sold - first he needs to get 100% of income share tokens back.

It wasnt an easy decision, but he’s now breathing easier with stronger cash reserves.Another thought: refinancing.

It could be that the decision makers were not aware of the ceiling on your budget.

They make their decision & accept your write off or you pay.

You want an accountant who can help you strategize and who is responsive when you want to know the consequences of the financial decisions you are making throughout the year.Good luck.
