Volume creates efficiency if handled right.I think it's easier emotionally to handle 20 units than it is 2 or 3.

Communication has been a struggle, and some disputes, such as it was clear from the track marks his boat trailer damaged some sprinkler valves and he blamed it on my lawn mowing contractor, and it wasn't even the money, a broken window he claimed it just broke and when I went to have it fixed ran into his daughter who obviously wasn't clued in and said to me she was sorry to have damaged it...things like that.After thinking it over I am leaning to making a clean break, no storing at my place.

From there, simply setup a tier for incentive to do a better, more efficient job in both construction and sales.  

Running numbers is being done it just wasn’t communicated to me that it was being done (so that is solved).

When first starting out, what did you find was the most efficient, least expensive way to set up your business entity?

You can argue that the money spent on forming an LLC and the annual renewal fee might be more efficiently allocated as money for down payment and/or closing costs until you get a property under your belt and to a point where there is enough equity to protect.

Clear communication with the tenant from the beginning and a sufficient security deposit to cover your real losses is a better approach.

But this saves me a lot of time communicating and showing the unit to prospective tenants.My girlfriend (before I met her) had her security deposit revoked when she abruptly moved to a new apartment because a friend of hers needed a roommate.  

True or not, they are effective in communicating several important messages about money, investor mindset and basic principles.

What do you have to do to get this building operating to peak efficiency?
