I recommend keeping it short for the initial attempt.

More importantly, you are attempting to advertise the property on public forums. 

This assures them I'll attempt to perform on their court while reciprocity guarantees me another agency that works with investors(also an ice breaker i.e.

While it’s frustrating that the tenant is still there and not paying, turning off utilities could complicate the situation and potentially lead to legal consequences for your "friend".In the meantime, document everything (the tenant’s non-payment, the lease terms regarding utilities, and their attempts to resolve the issue) to present in court, which may help recover the outstanding balance later.

Despite several attempts to fix these—like reconnecting and getting help from support—the issues have persisted, making it challenging to rely on the data integration via Yodlee, especially when other platforms like Plaid seem to handle this stuff more smoothly.

That said, if the property you're attempting to finance is materially larger than the properties you currently operate (IE - you're trying to finance a 30 unit building, but have only operated a series of 4-plexes to date), then sometimes this rule gets thrown out the window and you'll still be subject to the "Limited Multifamily Experience Sponsor" re-sizing parameters. 

Depending on the endeavor, your still have potential origination, closing cost, reserves of different size(deal type dependent) and other applicable fees/costs.

Learning by doing and teaching is my philosophy, and unfortunately, this system did not facilitate that process.I truly wanted this endeavor to succeed and even expressed my gratitude by sending Fire Station shirts to the Flip System crew.

@Brandon WongHello, I put together a spreadsheet model a while ago for calculating IRRs on rental investments, as an attempt to capture comparable returns by discounting future cash flows (in REI you also hear about cash-on-cash, which is typically at a point in time), and it sounded like you are having a related predicament.

If not, I suggest waiting until you do.If you use up all of your equity on your current home, rent it, and then need a new roof or boiler, your attempt at your first door will go sour.
