That has led them to continue to jack up rent prices and often, push out good tenants for the sake of an extra $100/month.

But there are also some real challenges, like dealing with lower tenant quality on average, the extra red tape, annual inspections, and the longer time it takes to get tenants placed compared to the open market.

We have a duplex with an extra flagpole lot that we are hoping to set up with an ADU for short term rentals.

For example: the multifamily sponsors will usually pay the considerable extra cost required to do a cost segregation analysis and this will increase the investor depreciation in the early years (versus an individual, direct investor who often will skip doing this because of the cost).The advantage of the passive investment is that you don't do any work.

Had I hired a professional, it would have been done in a month and the extra five months of rent income would have paid for the contractor, saving me six months of nights and weekends.

I’m having issues with them as they’ve grown & only worried about their  reputation & anyway to make extra money.

They are paying you an extra 5% per month.

I understand what you are saying in terms of having to pay the extra 650 $ a month.

If we need customized items, like a Leasehold DOT on an airplane hangar portfolio, then we (borrower) pay extra. 

I had an empty LTR that was unfurnished and they paid an extra 650/month and also paid to furnish it for a 6 month rental.
