Hire hourly, give small tasks, and fire them FAST if they don't perform. 2.

What actual tasks do you find tedious?

If you have some addresses where you want to start this venture, an Architect can perform a zoning analysis.

Yeah, if you've been a good borrower for a year and the LTV drops.However, banks can sell the debt (read the assignment clause in your mortgage) to whoever has the money and wants to service it.In any case, it's worth a call emphasizing your good performance and increased value of the property.

Most big time drug dealers have a lot of people coming and going at all times day and night so that's a pretty easy task to observe. 

Outside of Houston Proper (where a lot of the multifamily is overpriced, in an awful area, or both), finding cash-flowing multifamily rentals can feel like a sisyphean task.

Understandably, in the interim until you find and get the PM going, ask the PM if they can get their recommended contractor to perform the repairs in advance of you signing an agreement with the promise that if it goes well you will sign on.

We understand that it’s a big loss but we are looking to the best strategy to beat the situation and restructure our portfolio from this and get something else that performs if we can get anything from this.

I like the lower maintenance aspect of a condo and although I can task a tenant with things like pool and lawn care, I don’t really trust the tenant to do it.

My roofer has pitched me, I see a local realtor who never really sold much pitching deals now, doesn't even own her own home, and even had the bellman at a hotel pitch me, so lots of people who probably know less than we do about syndication, managing apartments, improving performance, etc are pitching deals.
