These costs are not negligible, and it may take months to recoup the MTR operators investment before seeing a profit. 

I'll be sued for negligence since the LLC doesn't shovel snow, I do.

Agreed mate,I'm all about taking personal responsibility and I have been swindled many times in a similar fashion like many feel on this thread.It seems like these investors including myself in other instances get negligent and don't read between the lines.Especially after trust and a relationship have been established, we become gullible and don't second guess or question.Maybe it's greed for some but in my instance it wasn't.Just innocent and trusting stupidity (No, I'm never a victim as that is ******** mentality in my book).I had some spare $$$ and wanted to diversify in other assets through folks I considered friends and trustworthy business partners.Didn't even think twice to look things over.Looking back, it all makes sense now but it's easy being a general after the battle heheI only blame myself here...I mentioned in the thread further above that I lost to the tune of hundreds of thousands of dollars.Again, it is what it is and it's a lesson.Only myself to blame and have always taken the high road in such instances.As much as I'd like to fight for justice and go down the legal path, it just isn't worth the time and emotion.Upwards and onwards.Become better and make more than you have lost.Each to their own and that's just my personal "modus operandi"

They all represent themselves, your PM is supposed to represent YOU and that didn’t happen.This immediate situation is almost secondary to the fact your manager is being negligent with your money.

Whether it's mold, COVID, or a non-paying renter, a quality PM acts quickly and decisively to protect people, property, and the landlord.If you feel the PM was negligent in their response, you can file a complaint with the state commission.

Seems like we could be negligent if we allow self-guided tours and someone leaves a window or the back door unlocked and comes back to occupy or destroy the property later.  

If the property is in good shape, cash vs. mortgage is negligible.

The real issue is negligence.

The group now has 30 members with discussion around negligence, mishandling of funds, fraud, and residual damages.On 6/26 my attorney sent a demand letter to Jeff Swiecicki requesting immediate payment of the balance owed.As of 6/30 Jeff Swiecicki has refused to pay back rightfully owed funds and refers us back to his 6/4 email to wait 90 days.

It's a way to generate more money upfront for them, on top of all of the other fees, and the overall change in payment is usually pretty negligible.
