However, you don’t get that money back the expectation is that your foundation works or is performing properly.  

They can definitely provide a decent income if run properly.

Is the proper allocation of these costs $25,000 per unit since each unit makes up 25% of the gross leasable area and the owner is not able to recoup the 25% from the vacant unit?

For real estate rentals, it's still reported on Sch E of my tax returns.

Very regulated, but can be done with proper documents.

If you pay for it and get it, is that super computer screen scraping the pdf and grabbing the proper schedule of the prelim to tell you where and what the lien position is, the lien amount originally, the lien amount now?

@Dhruv Anand you need to make sure they are all qualified investors first and have them fill out the proper qualification forms.

@Adrian Beltran There are A LOT of pain points with on market. 1) you work with a normal realtor who often (not always, but often) doesn't know much about investing2) you're flooded with hundreds of properties, most of which are not a good deal3) the properties that are a good deal you've got to get to quickly, because many many other investors are looking too so you've got to pull the trigger ASAP to beat those investors4) ASAP meaning you can't properly vet the property.

I might give them a freebee once, but that's at my discretion.It sounds like these are all valid complaints though, minus the heat maybe (was the furnace working properly)?

The fact they are complaining online might be an indication the property manager dealt with them properly so be sure to ask the manager for their side of the story.7.
