Is it simply another word for peer pressure?

But a specialist could be helpful if you have unique situations, want to explore advanced strategies, or simply save time.Cost varies - some charge hourly, some a flat fee.I'd recommend checking the tax pro button on top of the page and scheduling a free consultation.

But the diversification may be through a number locations of the same type property, as expertise in one area trumps diversifying into areas where you lack a competitive advantage.  

You are simply taking money from some class of people and giving it away freely to another class of people. 

If you do decide to help them out and rent continues to be late simply have a talk wiht them and remind them that rent helps pay your bills and since you did them a solid ask for the same in return.  

It's not too expensive however, after buying our condo in the summer we are lacking the capital to go in on it by ourselves.

There seems to be a lack of due diligence before properties are listed, and when questioned about the discrepancies between advertised and actual returns, the responsibility is often shifted to third parties.While it is true that there are properties within their portfolio that do cash flow, finding these requires careful due diligence on the part of the investor—just like any investment.

I found similar patterns between all 5 companies: namely, they had taken on too many units, were over-charging me for things I didn't need, and weren't handling issues correctly (they would send out vendors who didn't know what they were doing, mis-diagnose issues etc.)No disrespect to the PMs on this chain or BP in general, but any third-party manager won't perform exactly the way you would like them to simply because of the constraints they are faced with as far as having so many units and owners to keep tabs on. 

If you made those free they'd be complaining about jobs or supermarket deserts or lack of public transportation or some other issue.
