Owner ended up settling with the tenant, but then we had to threaten to sue our own client to get them to pay our legal fees.- Owner must sign a Hold Harmless to indemnify us against any potential tenant lawsuits relating to the work their contractor is doing.--- Another lawsuit resulted from owner's contractor taking down basement handrail to get supplies down the steps, then they didn't put it back and tenant fell down the stairs.- We also negotiate a reasonable completion date, depending on the Scope Of Work (SOW). --- Who gets all the phone calls and wastes time calming a tenant down because the owner's contractor doesn't show up as scheduled after they took time off from work or a 3 day job takes 3 weeks?

There are sometimes fees associated as well but they seem minimal and scale well since one line of credit can purchase multiple assets.Interested if anyone else is using this lending strategy and what your experiences/recommendations are.

If you're new to investing, keeping an eye on property taxes and HOA fees in this area is also key. 

This eviction altogether cost me $20,000 - legal fees, lost rent, and rehabbing.

Charge a fee for the ESA.

With this, along with shifting the utilities to the tenants and reducing the management fee to generate an NOI of around $103k, I'd estimate the value around $1.8M to $2.0M

With the retail center the leases are all NNN and those leases had management fees baked into the leases. 

You account for the mortgage and HOA fee.

A recent example, “How much is the monthly association fee?”

Fees are through the roof.
