It sounds like they have been paying, maybe talking to them about your concerns can help them better meet your expectations.

By the most important thing (if that's what you're doing) is to have a really good operator who knows the laws, has experience and is above board so they won't leave you high and dry. 

However, a lot of concerns can be mitigated with looking at their past rental behavior in a lot of different settings.

That was fun.Because of this setback limiting my ability to leave my house, I sunk more time into my YouTube channel where I’m seeing exponential growth and am on pace to make over $6k this month from ad revenue alone.Life is good.

So cash flow isn’t the biggest concern.

I had 2 weeks to pack my stuff and leave the rest behind.

I am ok and usually do leave some of my money in a refi.

@Mark Cruse thanks mark - that's the vibe I was getting as well, super negative and not informative (from one person) This was a success story just on raw numbers - there are obviously more expenses, but some took it and seemed to take it at face value which did leave me to get defensive which I shouldn't have. side note - knowing how to communicate and navigate this community seems to be the key.

The reality is that with the super low inventory we have sellers don't have a reason to give you a 50% discount, so your numbers get squeezed and you will end up leaving cash in the deal.
