I very quickly had to reorient him to my reasons for dissatisfaction, to which he offered no remorse.

Reason why is because FDIC Bankers "Do Not" charge points on traditional programs like primary homes, standard investment purchase and refinance, Second home/vacation homes.Lenders, Brokers all charge points to meet their Loan officer compensation plan (commission).

Out of state investing in cities within a reasonable driving distance may be a good option. 

Is there a money back guarantee if for some reason it isn't what you thought you were getting? 

I actually just finished reading his book and was surprisingly disappointed for a couple reasons.

If they are leaving mid-Feb and willing to pay 6 weeks' rent to break the lease, that is reasonable. 

Curious about the reason, I consulted my home insurance broker, who informed me that the property had a water damage claim filed a few months ago, which is causing insurers to be cautious.This information surprised me, as it had not been disclosed by the seller.

Great people, intuitive platform, get their K1s out on time and returns have met expectations...one of the reasons I am invested in two funds at this point as the first investment was really to test the waters and validate I was a good fit.  

No...there are many reasons why installing it over the carpet will prove to be a nightmare in a relatively short period. 

Forced appreciation allows me to build equity from the beginning of the investment, so if I need to firesale for an unforeseeable reason, I will not be underwater.
