I'd say they chose colors that don't create any curb appeal at all...In this case the front sounds like it was cluttered, so the way to increase curb appeal was literally to de-clutter. 

@Brian Fisher It sounds like this was a frozen pipe and not a pump issue. 

I spend a total of 5 days a month performing maintenance related duties(replace flooring, windows, plumbing issues, ect.).

Hey Themis, it sounds like you already have a solid foundation in real estate from working in the commercial industry, so it should be a pretty smooth transition into doing your own investments.I would put a lot of focus on building out your team of contractors.

Sound like some people we’ve previously “engaged” with.The second criteria is if the deal is a “fit” for syndication.  

@Chelsea DiLuzio 2025 sounds like it will be an exciting year!

sounds like someone got a nasty gram.. we see this with the syndicators that are called out then threaten the investor who called them out.. or anyone else companing about a service only to have the company either threaten or tell them if you take this down or retract we will give you your money back.. kind of like landlords lying about how great their dead beat tenant is to just get them to move on to the next landlord. 

Not sure how many PMCs you've had bad experiences with, but we'll take exception to:"Then do a thorough research on tenant applicants (note: leaving this to a PM may be hazardous to your financial health)".BP seems to have more threads about screening mistakes by DIY landlords as opposed to PMCs.Now, if you'd have mentioned Maintenance, you'd get no argument from me:) Even the PMC industry acknowledges maintenance as one of the biggest challenges.Rereading my post, I kinda see how I sounded negative toward PMs.  

It sounds like you've done a lot of the preparation work required to hit the ground running. 

So, if you're OK with that, then it sounds like a good deal.
