Back in the day we carried a balance of $100,000+ that was owed to us and that is now down to only $10,000 or so and we only cover out of pocket if it's an emergency.The PM must have sufficient reserves to do the necessary maintenance work and shouldn't be chasing landlords for money.Just my opinion...Also, a PM's number 1 profit center is maintenance up charge.Landlords don't have much insight and PM's nickel and dime to death on those.If you are suspicious, ask for a receipt so they aren't making up non existent maintenance.Let them make their money tho and calculate that into your expense pro-forma.Otherwise, manage yourself and deal with the $#%^@ that comes with it lol.Multifamily in Ohio, you can get for $25,000 - $35,000 a unit.Drop another $5,000 - $10,000 into the turns and rents should be North of $800pm.Decent area's also.Personally, I wouldn't get out of bed unless I'm making the above numbers.Wishing you much success

Aside from the responses above regarding the bank likely requiring the 20% funds to be yours, good luck finding any private lender willing to take a second position note on a 100% LTV for any %, let alone a tiny 3%.Now, banks do, at times, allow seller carried back seconds, but unlikely with no skin in the game from the borrower.

market is too small and its all cash and carry basically. 

That's if the rental income can carry the cost of the new mortgage.

If your lease includes this provision, I recommend issuing a lease violation notice for not allowing maintenance to enter and carry out essential repairs.  

The good applicant eventually gets tired of carrying the water for the other, leaves, and you are stuck with a bad tenant.
