Having a person answer the phone costs the PM company substantially more than operating a support button with a delayed response.

Quote from @Quinzel Waiters:I would just keep looking and follow up with the person.

While I am a lender, I personally use hard money on all of my own investment projects.

Instead, consider a HELOC or home equity loan to fund repairs, as the interest may be deductible if used for home improvements.This post does not create a CPA-Client relationship.

When dealing with federal, state, and local NOFA (notice of funds availabilities), do government funds allocated for affordable housing often get depleted from too many developers requesting funds for new projects?

Maintenance and potential repairs will also require a long-term financial plan and setting aside a contingency fund for such expenses.The steady cash flow, appreciation over time, and tax benefits can make a meaningful difference to your wealth in the long term, especially with the principal paydown on the mortgage.However, if managing the property from a distance feels too burdensome, or if you’d prefer the certainty and flexibility that comes with having less debt (especially given the high mortgage rates), selling and using the $100,000 in equity to reduce your loan for your next home may be the smarter move.

Looking to get that cash back as soon as possible to use it to fund my business.

Other companies have come in person to do it.Every year, I get new 4-point inspections on ALL of my properties and send to my agent to re-shop my insurance rates. 

My clients are mainly real estate developers, PE funds and individual investors doing syndications and my core skill is in real estate valuation / due diligence across real estate asset classes. 

I personally own investment properties in Columbus, Ohio.
