I think it is a false assumption to think that STH owners don’t need to plan for CapEx.

Just be patient while others overcome their false assumptions....they are the ones with a problem.  

When I signed up for BP Pro, I was under the assumption that it included the access to the audio books.

You indicate, however, “We do all of the work and management…,”so I have my doubts.You’re also making assumptions about service with little apparent basis.

. #2) If you are banking on the fact that the listing agent is motivated by making double the money and stear the property to you.....that means you are operating under the assumption the agent is unethical and willing to do something illegal, ie stear their seller to a  worse offer so they can make more money.

(with conservative assumptions on annual appreciation - 2%, and annual rent increase - 1%, as well as 5% vacancy/maintenance).I see so many people say they only go for properties with at least 15% cash on cash returns, which seems extremely difficult in this market

You without a doubt used a lot of assumption and blind trust, and are now paying the price. 90 days is WAY too much time to go by and not know with certainty what's going on.

Be conservative in your numbers/assumptions and compare the long term outcome. 10y, 30y.

Hotels typically do this for cost savings, but they also may do this to prevent guests from setting temps that could impact others on a floor or adajacent room (my assumptions). 

@Keegan Darby , any assumption would be determined by your Loan Docs (The Note), and the servicer should be contacted to determine the process if it is assumable.
