Evan,I did a very similar project in the Herron Morton Neighborhood and was fortunate to get my money back and I was using all of my own cash so there were no interest charges.Based upon my experience and the details of your situation that you have described, I would bail on this project.It may turn out to be a great project; however, you are stretching to get there which adds a great deal of stress to your life.I can share more details if you want to have a phone conversation.Chris

People are stretched to the limit.

I'll stretch the definition of the so-called professional tenant; I guarantee I'd pass even the most stringent of this site's application standards.

Her hand is fine....A piece of crap colleague claimed he hurt his back trying to sit down in his chair because someone lowered it...funny thing is he never said anything to anyone and has had back pain ever day for YEARS prior to this, get's up and complains about back pain and does stretches daily for years in front of everyone...then claims his back pain is as a result of someone lowering his chair.

It took 3 months to finish and get tenants in there when we could have paid a professional and had it done in 1 month, the costs would have washed and we wouldn't have stretched ourselves (timewise) to thin.

If you are over stretched with your acquisitions then it might not be a bad time to reduce your debt and raise some cash but if you have been buying as an investor (not a speculator) in a disciplined manner over the past few years there should be no reason the sell.  

I almost always return all or most of the deposit. bigger landlords I know in the D class and even C class assets  that have 100 to 200 plus doors.. they just charge a move in fee and no deposit. since they NEVER EVER give a deposit back.. tenant does not expect it .. and the homes are NEVER broom clean by a long stretch.  

I'll have him work on a product line of solid inexpensive massage/stretching devices that primarilly function by floors, walls, ceilings, doorways and basic furniture that has been passively developing in my head over the few years that I've been dealing with a lot of stress related muscular pain, not to get personal but maybe I may have run into this fellow for another purpose than so far assumed.

A lot of people must be stretching to buy anything.
