The fact that some people get jealous of hard working individuals who add value to the community does not justify taking what is not yours. 

My confusion is this: if you only have a certain amount of money to invest, why would it be assumed that you could invest that money or its gains elsewhere in the meantime, therefore netting another return, therefore justifying the discount of dollars received in the future?

This deal needed speed and I probably won't be in it long enough to justify the pain and costs of a loan so I disnt get one. 

Fees should be clearly stated, easy to understand, and justifiable.

If the first tenant decides to move out, I'd recommend finding a new tenant to replace them at the price point you are seeking (or even a little higher) prior to increasing the 2nd person's rent as this will tell you whether your rent increase is justified by the market.In my personal experience, if the rent increase is reasonable and the current rent price is below market, most tenants end up staying. 

Make sure doing the deal is justified based on what it does for you.

Most lenders require an inspection and/or appraisal to justify the loan value.

Often, the numbers simply don’t work with rents being too low to justify the investment.

If you feel as though they PMs are not trying to fill the vacancy you can attempt to dispute the funds later but if they can provide evidence they made efforts to fill the vacancy they would be justified in their actions.

So I don't want to overbuy, however, I do want to get rents up and justify that as well.
