I was not thinking of my post to be negative, just seeking people's opinions on these companies.

Would it be wise to seek a private investor?

If they return it in good condition, they can still get their deposit back without penalty for breaking the lease.Don't get caught up in childish games because the tenant has the advantage by making your life difficult for a long period of time.

I am seeking to expand my knowledge and contribute it to help other agents, investors, contractors, buyers, sellers or anyone interested in real estate.
