Not sure what market you are in where rents are going down dramatically, rents have been going up in the markets where we do business.

Once you get your systems down, you have a real estate business model that you can take to any market and be still be successful.

Any excuse you give (you SHOULDN'T) will be met with challenge, bargaining, threats and sob stories.These people are wasting your time and driving away other customers in your business, and making trouble for you with the municipality, to boot.You're also being too soft and they can smell it on you. 

We are still involved in the business, but way way less. 

Sounds like a business opportunity,  once you learn Yardi, remember this, and you can have a side business teaching it.

Not someone I would recommend doing business with.

My business partner and I are in the process of ending a very successful 10+ year partnership in which we managed to build a portfolio of 50+ units through the BRRR method. 

Again, it is right here from THE source:  https://capitalmarkets.fanniemae.com/mortgage-backed-securit...At least 5 folks who are in the business have brought it up, but you have dismissed it.

It just feels weird to treat it as a partnership because a primary residence isn't a business. 

I'm just a guy finally posting on BP after years of reading while I built my business but I just wanted to offer your a different angle to look at the problem and say, "how much would it be to buy the shell house and roof it?"
