Feel" the true beat of the portfolio's income and expenses performance before using leverage to speed up the growth of your portfolio.Using cash only will protect your bottom line in scenario's like yours when the properties don't perform as expected as you won't be on the hook to cover the mortgage expenses.Just my bias opinion so take it with a grain of salt.I've also witnessed many finger pointing instances when others get involved.Like a new property manager, realtor, contractor, etc...I've had my share of bad experiences with realtors that threw my company under the bus and got in the investors ear to flog it at any price just so they can make a quick commission.It get's very messy, painful and pretty much turns into a disaster with the investor not knowing who to trust or what to do anymore.Similar to what you post about has happened to me and my company many times and if allowed the opportunity, we do our best to fix and come good.Some loose trust and faith and I 100% understand, but as soon as someone leaves the wing of my company there is not much that we can do because as I mentioned above, everyone else get's involved, has an opinion and the situation get's very messy.Having in-house property management is vital when such a "crisis" arises.I tried out-sourced PM when we first started and it was a disaster.We had no choice other than to bring it in-house.Hated my life for the first 5 years with in-house PM and fast forward 10 years, it has become our "golden goose" and a very well streamlined and beautiful business.From what I've seen and read on the forum and elsewhere it seems like RTR has a good reputation and what you have mentioned seems like a "worst case scenario".I hope RTR will assist you the best they can and all I can say is learn from the experience and don't give up.Do your best to weather the storm and focus on minutia.Don't have regrets and don't spend too much time dwelling on the past.Glimpse into the past to get guidance from what you could have done better and think ahead.Move forward smarter, more experienced and better.Wishing you well and much success with your future endeavors.

Your floor was a ton lower than there's will be in almost all necessities. 

If there's a surge in new apartment buildings, this can lead to lower rents as landlords compete for tenants or maybe.

Ideally, try to save as much as you can and keep expenses down while you go through the process of purchasing the property. 

Hi, I recommend for to explore credit funding to cover all expenses, I got 75k on a credit card with 0% interest I transferred from project to project until I got 3 and refinanced them. 

You just need to have a current housing expense meaning you cannot be living rent free.

the financing fees, my client is thinking that he might be better off paying cash for everything instead of financing, but he’s thinking he should do it just for the learning and to allow his company to build creditfrom my perspective I just would like to know if these fees are right on point or if they are expensive. let me know your thoughts thank you in advance.

Would you have made these repairs at your expense prior to closing?

This could be a huge expense if I run into roof damage but it doesn't appear I can take it off (it comes with a $22 savings which I'd happily remove to have replacement cost).

If anyone can recommend a less expensive brand that they think is great, I'm all ears.
