When I told her that we already had her try again and I would prefer if she just paid me back for the handyman services I had to incur after the first round, she stopped communicating with me. 

I prefer the multis because there’s one set of expenses and multiple rents coming in.

Our take on this topic, and the one time we deviated from our preferred.  

Does anybody have experience with that country and where is a good place to purchase, preferably out of city?

Also, in a mainstream asset class like value-added multifamily, I see no reason to take a risk on a sponsor that doesn't have full real estate cycle experience or that lost anything more than a small amount of money (and prefer no money lost).

As far as the users' preference of view over space...

I’m looking to connect with:Partners who can bring resources or experience to the table while I handle the heavy lifting of deal-finding, analysis, and management.Investors interested in deals with clear strategies and long-term potential.While I’d prefer to build a portfolio for the long haul, I understand the market always has buyers.

Quote from @Bruce Woodruff: Quote from @Jonathan Greene: Quote from @Bruce Woodruff: I think that this BP forum takes on that deal-killer function very well......at least it can if/when investors take the time to post their questions and concerns.It should, but because some (not all) investors are fragile about criticism or prefer an echo chamber, it often falls into a back-and-forth where we are trying to help on our own time, and they are rejecting it and calling us naysayers.

100% agree with @Collin Hays - find a local manager, preferably one not too large or not too small, I would say 30-90 properties is usually a sweet spot.

Renters may prefer paying 40 less per month rather than the one time $500 discount. $40/month off works out much better for the tenant, even though they may not realize it, and it's a killer for the landlord
