Is there some reason that you or the company simply don't discuss what happened and use this as an opportunity to turn a negative post into a positive one for the company?  

I recently helped a friend who was in a similar position - looking to tap into equity for a rental property purchase in Phoenix.

Learned all the lessons needed on this one for sure.I am now feeling the positive pressure from the huge mistake and looking to leverage all the resources I can to make sure I do long-distance real estate investing the right way from here on out.GOAL: I plan to purchase 3-5 SFH to hopefully cashflow $2,500+ in the next 2-3 months.

You build equity while keeping your cost of living low.You’re positioned in an appreciating area, meaning your asset should gain value over time.You keep your downtown flexibility while someone else funds your mortgage.Now does it make sense?

Hopefully, this brings Detroit more positive attention!

Most, if not all DSCR lenders require first and sole lien position with their refinances. 

If you are in a position to buy and the math, maths. pull the trigger.

Less red tape and you could rent out all the rooms right away if you purchase this as an investment property with 15% down.Either way, you’re in a solid position with your free housing perk, time to play the long game and set yourself up for future wins.

This unexpected expense turned what was promised as a cash-positive investment into a cash-negative one—the first in my investing career.To make matters worse, I lost $21,000 due to the property managers recommended by RTR.

I personally like the later, its a littler "slower" and the buyer generally feels like they can get all the facts, and puts the buyer in strong position to get remedy or additional concessions.
