Call a couple local property managers (I’d suggest key property be one of the calls.

HI @Jacob KazmierskiI would suggest saving a certian % you fee comfortable with and then put the rest into a high yield savings account.

They have even suggested that if I want to pursue the matter, my only option is to sue, as they believe they are fully within their rights to withhold this information.

Any other suggestions are welcomed. 

I would suggest Indy.

Not working with a broker, open to suggestions.  

I stopped paying the 1%+ and my principal finally started to decrease, significantly.My suggestion is that you ask brokers for recommendations that are in the area where you are purchasing your property and keep calling banks and save thousands of dollars you can use to invest for your next purchase.Two things:  Your broker wasn't getting rich on a 1% commission and the 1% you paid to your broker didn't keep your principal from decreasing; it was probably the cash out he got you (and at a higher LTV than the bank would lend you I might add).Banks and brokers each have a place in the lending arena.Stephanie 

However, what I would suggest based on your expertise as a contractor is going into a semi-fixer upper and make minor repairs to boost equity as well as savings. 

@Keira Hamilton can you suggest any forums similar to this one but specific to laundromats?  

When I maintained my position that I wouldn't be paying 10K up front, Dmitri then insulted my section 8 investing knowledge and suggested that if I wasn't ready to move forward, then it was because I didn't understand enough about section 8 to begin with.
