Agreeded with the first 2 posts, I've only experienced this once to have damages/ missed payments exceed security deposit. 

@Paige Seeley - If I am understanding the hart of your post correctly, you are balancing the decision to put more money down, in order to have better cashflow, vs going with a lower down payment (keeping cash in your control) but having a higher monthly payment. 

@Michael GibsonRecommend exploring as many sources as possible to get referrals AND cross-reference them to get as much accurate information as possible.Check out NARPM.com, BP’s Property Manager Finder (BiggerPockets: The Real Estate Investing Social Network), etc.Also, encourage you to learn from the mistakes of others - by reading posts here on BiggerPockets about owners not having their expectations met by their current Property Management Company.

I recently paid $50K for access to a “tribe” where I, as a complete newb with no relevant industry experience at all, was taught to stand up a webpage touting the benefits of multifamily and then come and start posting here.I was taught to attempt to attract money from people like you who have recently come into a large pile of wealth and have no plan whatsoever.What I will do is take your money, and give it to this random other person in my $50K mentorship program who also has basically no experience raising and deploying capital.When I give them $100K I have raised from you, I will be given a 10% finders fee of $10K.

It looks like your post is tagged for Seattle--if you're hoping for some more Tennessee connections, it could be worth re-posting with a Tennessee tag. - Have you identified the next few steps, or are you looking for some help figuring out what's next?

I've encountered the same issue with being "banned" from Face Book Market Place this morning.I posted a house for rent on Friday and received 30+ inquiries over the weekend. 

Not sure I am allowed to post recommendations to service providers on the forums directly.

Thanks to the strict rules and procedures here on BP, we get to enjoy true learning information rather than sift through countless spam posts.

Hi @Kevin Kim, your post did not mention if you asked the powers that be (lol) if you could keep the one pole, and simply have them install a separate meter for each building.On multi-family property, we have installed multi-meter boxes with external disconnects as per the electrical code in PA.
