Often times what you lack someone else could potentially have.

Is there a general rule of thumb that is used when underwriting the cost of tenant turn over?

But without a couple folks to help evaluate a deal, it is incredibly easy to wind up with a property that doesn't break-even.We read about successes on here, but not often about the deals that DIDN'T work out. 

I hate to sound so much like a pessimist but doing this as long as I have with the volume of tenants I have seen you become cynical that people wont do what they say and will take advantage of you when they can.

Those companies often advertise larger amounts of LOC available but are more often limited to newer borrowers. 

Debt is often used to facilitate growth so the opposite of course has the opposite effect.

I would reach out to the bank...but often they will be totally fine with you paying the payments as long as they get paid.

If you can come to the city to visit that helps but often, as a majority of properties are "curb offers only", buyers will come out for inspections after the offer is made and then go home and complete the rest of deal form there.

I have seen the properties these 'managers' handle, and often they are NOT being taken care of properly. 

Keep in mind (and be prepared) that 1/1 units with low rents often have high turnover.
